Where would you expect to find lava solidifying into basalt?

You would expect to find lava solidifying into basalt at the surface of a volcano or lava flow. Basalt is a common volcanic rock that forms when lava cools and solidifies quickly, usually in areas with high volcanic activity.


How could you tell if a volcano makes felsite or basalt lava?

What kind of rock does the kilauea volcano make?

Kilauea volcano primarily produces basaltic rock, which is a type of volcanic rock that is low in silica content and flows easily when molten. The lava flows from Kilauea are typically thin and hot, allowing them to travel long distances before solidifying.

Is basalt a volcanic rock?

Yes, basalt is vocanic. Basalt forms when lava reaches the Earth's surface at a volcano or mid ocean ridge. The lava is between 1100 to 1250° C when it gets to the surface. It cools quickly, within a few days or a couple weeks, forming solid rock. Very thick lava flows may take many years to become completely solid.


Is igneous rocks basalt?

Yes, basalt is an igneous rock. it comes from when the volcano erupts. it is the hardened lava. a main factor is silica.


What forms as result of lava that has cooled at the top of a volcano?

When lava cools at the top of a volcano, it forms igneous rocks such as basalt or andesite. These rocks can sometimes create formations like lava domes or hardened lava flows.
