  • Understanding Lava Rock: Types and Formation
    The hardened layer of lava is called lava rock or volcanic rock.

    Here's a breakdown of some more specific terms:

    * Lava flow: The actual stream of molten rock.

    * Lava rock: The general term for the cooled and solidified lava.

    * Extrusive igneous rock: The scientific term for rocks formed from lava that cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface.

    * Basalt: A common type of extrusive igneous rock, often dark in color, formed from relatively fluid lava flows.
