When lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. The specific type of igneous rock that forms from lava is called extrusive or volcanic rock, which includes examples like basalt and pumice. These rocks typically have a fine-grained texture due to the rapid cooling of lava on the Earth's surface.
What else can I help you with?
What is a molten rock that comes from a volcano called?
Molten rock (magma) that spews from a volcano is called lava, When it cools, the lava forms igneous rocks.
Is lava magma when it cools down?
No. Lava is magma that has reached the surface.
What is rock called after it is ejected from a volcano and it cools?
Rock that is ejected from a volcano and cools is called volcanic rock or lava rock. This type of rock typically has a fine-grained texture due to rapid cooling.
What rock is formed inside a volcano?
according to my science class, its igneous rock. igneous rock is formed when magma/lava cools. if it cools slowly, it is conglomerate (coarse-grained or heavily grained..chunky.) if it cools fastly, it is fine grained (smooth.) i hope this helps!
What is molten liquefied rock called when it irrupts from the earth's interior from a volcano or fissure and cools into a porous black and hard material?
The molten liquefied rock is called lava when it erupts from a volcano or fissure and cools into a porous black and hard material known as basalt or igneous rock.
What is a molten rock that comes from a volcano called?
Molten rock (magma) that spews from a volcano is called lava, When it cools, the lava forms igneous rocks.
What kind of rock forms when lava cools?
Either a type of lava called AA (ah-ah) comes out of the volcano of a type of lava called pahoho comes out.An Extrusive Igneous Rock.
How is magma relates to rocks?
Magma is underground and when it comes out of the ground, through a volcano, magma turns to lava. As the lava cools it forms an igneous rock.
How do magma turn into extrusive igneous rock?
Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.
What is Material which runs down the side of a volcano and cools into rock?
Lava.
When lava explodes from a volcano and cools and hardens quickly, what kind of rock does it form from?
igneus rock
What substance is obtained when volcano lava cools at the surface?
Extrusive igneous rock.
How does volcanic rock form?
Volcanic rock forms by lava that has come from a volcano, cools and solidifies to form the rock.
What rock does lava form?
The igneous rock forms from lava because when a volcano erupts the lava that flows from a volcano. Igneous rocks have a hot liquid in the beginning. The lava that flows forms into an igneous rock fast. When the lava reaches the surface, it cools rapidly and turns into igneous rock.
How does an igneous rock develop?
When lava erupts from a volcano and cools down, it hardens and becomes an igneous rock
Is lava magma when it cools down?
No. Lava is magma that has reached the surface.
What is the molten rock that comes out a volcano?
That is called 'lava'
