It takes quite a lot of heat to melt rock, and whatever is melting that rock must loose heat in the process. When molten rock comes out of a volcano, it is closer, in terms of temperature to solidifying than the surrounding rock is to melting. So the lava will cool and harden before the surrounding rock has a chance to melt, especially since the lava is also losing heat to the air. In some cases the surface rock may melt, but in fairly small amounts.

What is the temperature of a melting lamp?
The temperature at which a lava lamp melts can vary depending on the specific type of wax used inside. Generally, the wax in a lava lamp melts at around 130-150 degrees Fahrenheit (54-65 degrees Celsius), which allows it to flow and create the characteristic lava lamp effect.
When metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava, is conserved?

What causes lava to be runny and fluid?
Silica content of lava, as well as the temperature of the lava.
How volcanoes can be destructive?
Well, volcano are destructive because they erupt lava and they are very destructive :D
When rock melts into magma what do volcanoes release?
Smoke, ash, and lava. Hope it helped :)
What is inside a lava lamp?
A lava lamp contains a special wax mixture, usually made of paraffin wax, mineral oil, and dye. When the lamp is heated by a light bulb at the base, the wax melts and floats around in the liquid, creating the mesmerizing lava-like effect.
What does a rock become when it melts?
Lava.
When metamorphic rock melts turns into?
Metamorphic rock that melts turns to magma. This only becomes lava if it is erupted to the surface in a volcano.
How hot is lava in a lava lake?
It is usually around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
When a rock melts what substance does it become?
Lava.
What happens when volcano lava cools at the surface?
lava melts and then soldifies and turns into rocks:L

What metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava?
Basalt is a common metamorphic rock that can melt and transform into lava when exposed to high temperatures. Basalt is formed from the solidification of lava, so it can melt when subjected to the same conditions.
