Indeed it does! Depending on how fast the lava crystalizes a different rock will be formed. Rocks that form from within the earth (like through a volcanic eruption, lava flow, magma intrusion, ect) are known as igneous rocks. Igneous rocks include granite, basalt, obsidian, andesite, among others. Basalt and obsidian are arguably the most well known rocks formed from a lava flow.

How does magma change the earth surface?

When magma erupts on to the earth's surface it hardens and forms new land.It depends on if your talking about magma or lava, lava is on the surface of the Earth and magma is inside (underground).


What happens to lava after a volcano erupts?

When the lava hardens, it becomes a rock. Igneous (definition: formed by solidification from a molten state) rocks are hardened lava/magma. Therefore, when lava hardens, it is an igneous rock.


Where does lava go when it erupts?

When lava reaches the surface, it quickly hardens into rock. The resulting rock will have either a glassy texture (with no crystals) or have a fine-grained texture (with small crystals) because the minerals have little or no time to crystallize.


Where can you find the youngest rock?

The youngest rocks can typically be found near active volcanic areas where new rock formations are being created. These areas may include places like the Hawaiian Islands or Iceland where lava flows are ongoing.


How is magma used on Earth?

Magma is used on earth when a volcanic erruption happens the magma which is also known as lava comes out and the lava drys and hardens into new landfors.


Is a volcano a constructive foce of nature?

The volcano takes magma from the mantle of the earth and ejects it onto the crust's surface. When the lava cools it hardens into a volcanic rock or glass.


How does magma affect the rocks into which in intrudes?

Magma is molten rock that bubbles up along ocean ridges to form new crust. Another way that magma forms new crust is when it is expelled out of a volcano and becomes lava, which cools and hardens into crust.


How do volcanoes contribute to the formation of new landforms?

the magmum that flows underground spews out turning into lava then since its molten rock it hardens over thousands even millions of years but if its on water it flows over the water hardening into a solid surface
