How hot is hardened lava?

Hardened lava typically ranges from about 600 to 1200 degrees Celsius (1100 to 2200 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the type of lava and cooling conditions.

What is a result of lava that has cooled at the top of a volcano.?

When lava cools at the top of a volcano, it solidifies to form a crust, which can create features such as volcanic rock formations or lava domes. This cooling process can also lead to the formation of a hardened lava flow, which may trap hot, molten lava beneath it. Over time, this can result in explosive eruptions if pressure builds up, as the trapped lava seeks an escape route. Additionally, the hardened surface can alter the landscape and influence subsequent volcanic activity.


What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten within the Earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?

Igneous rocks.

What happens to hot lava after it erupts from a volcano?

After erupting from a volcano, hot lava flows down the volcano's slopes or it may create lava flows that spread over the surrounding area. As the lava cools, it solidifies into rock formations called igneous rocks. Over time, these rocks can weather and break down to form new soil.


How does a rock turn into lava?

The rock becomes too hot that it must turn into liquid form (lava). This would usually mean that the rock had to have come into contact with lava first.
