Question

What type of rock is cooled lava from a volcano?

Answer 1

The type of rock that is formed from cooled lava from a volcano is called igneous rock. There are two main types of igneous rocks: intrusive and extrusive. When lava cools quickly on the surface, it forms extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt or pumice. When magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rock, such as granite or gabbro.

Answer 2

The type of rock that is cooled lava from a volcano is called igneous rock. It is formed when lava cools and solidifies, either on or beneath the Earth's surface. There are two types of igneous rock - extrusive (cooled on the surface) and intrusive (cooled beneath the surface).

Answer 3

Cooled lava from a volcano is known as igneous rock. Igneous rock is formed when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and hardens. It is one of the three main types of rock, along with sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
