Igneous rock forms from lava or magma cooling to a solid state. How would a scientist be able to tell if a piece of igneous rock was formed from lava or magma?
They would tell if it is igneous rock is lava and magma if Igneous rock was if the rock was found out of a volcano eruption and it was still hot and goo its usually.
Scientist would know if it is a igneous rock because they should know what the rock cycle is if they are studying rocks. Also if they wanted to know if it is igneous rock or not they can break the rock open.
Scientist are able to determine if an igneous rock is formed from lava or magma by the sizes of the crystals in the rock. Magma cools slowing in the Earth and has time to grow larger crystals. Lava cools quickly on the surface and some rock may not have time to form crystals at all. There are common examples of both magma cooled rook called intrusive and lava cooled rock called extrusive igneous rock.
They can because lava-formed igneous rock has has crystals, and magma-formed igneous rock does not. Also, magma rock is formed underground, leaving it with no crystals, and lava rock is formed above when the volcano erupts
You can tell if the rock was formed from lava or magma is if you find it underground it was made by magma and if you find it aboveground it was made by lava.
Magma is molten rock that flows beneath the earth's surface. Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma. The location of the formation of the rock, as well as how fast the magma cools will determine the type of igneous rock. Intrusive rocks form from the cooling of magma deep beneath the earths surface. Since this occurs below the earth's surface, the magma will cool very slowly. As magma cools, it will form crystals. Intrusive rocks have larger crystals typically formed together to form the rock mass. An example of an intrusive rock is granite. When magma is above the earth's crust, it is known as lava. Extrusive rocks form through very fast cooling of lava above the Earth's surface. Extrusive rocks have very small, almost microscopic crystals. These are often described as fine grained rocks. You usually can't see these with the naked eye.The most common type of extrusive rock is basalt.
Scientist can find the difference because if the rock is made out of magma it would have large Crystals because it cooled very slowly, and if the rock was made out of lava it would be glassy because it cooled very quickly.
A scientist could tell if a rock was formed by magma or lava by the type of rock. Some types of rock form by magma intrusive. Some types of rock are formed by lava extrusive. A type of extrusive rock is obsidian. Extrusive rocks are smooth like glass. Intrusive rocks rocks sometimes have bubbles. This may be completely wrong I tried to do it with no research.
The difference between an Extrusivee and Intrusive igneous rock an Extruasive igneous rock cools very fast on the surface and is created by lava on the other hand an Intrusive igneous rock cools very slowly beneath the surface and is created by magma.
There are two types of igneous rocks; Extrusive and Intrusive. The difference between an Extrusive and Intrusive igneous rock is the way in which they cool. An Extrusive igneous rock cools very fast on the surface and is created by lava. Since the cooling process is very fast extrusive igneous rocks have very small crystals (fine grained). On the other hand an Intrusive igneous rock cools very slowly beneath the surface and is created by magma.
A scientist cannot tell if igneous rock was made by lava or magma because there the same thing with not that much difference in color or how light it is.
ignis meaning fire is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Igneous rock may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive plutonic rocks or on the surface as extrusive volcanic rocks.
An Igneous rock is the product of cooled solidified magma/lava. As magma/lava cools it goes through the process of crystallization which turns it into an igneous rock. The amount of time it takes for an igneous rock to form depends on its location and its composition. There are two types of igneous rocks; Extrusive and Intrusive.
What is the difference between an Extrusive and Intrusive igneous rock?
The difference between an Extrusive and Intrusive igneous rock is the way in which they cool. An Extrusive igneous rock cools very fast on the surface and is created by lava. Since the cooling process is very fast extrusive igneous rocks have very small crystals (fine grained). On the other hand an Intrusive igneous rock cools very slowly beneath the surface and is created by magma. Since the cooling process is very slow intrusive igneous rocks have very large crystals (coarse grained). In some instances there is also a third type of igneous rock. Technically it is an extrusive rock, but it resembles glass. This glass type of igneous rock forms when magma/lava is instantly cooled.
What are the properties used to identify Igneous rocks?
Properties used to identify igneous rocks include mineral composition, texture, and color. There are four different mineral compositions; Felsic, Intermediate, Mafic, and Ultramafic. The texture of an igneous rock is determined by its grain size. There are eight terms relating to the type of texture an igneous rock has. They are pegmatitic, phaneritic, porphyritic, aphanitic, glassy, vesicular, frothy, and pyroclastic.
How to tell if an igneous rock was made by Lava/ Magma. The cooling of the air in the lava makes little tiny crystals that cant be seen by a naked eye. Obsidian is made by lava / magma, so typically if you see obsidian its made by the lava its self. The cooling of the rock below the surface of the earths erupts making other sorts of rocks with other stuff and crystal sized minerals with it.
They can because lava-formed igneous rock has has crystals, and magma-formed igneous rock does not. Also, magma rock is formed underground, leaving it with no crystals, and lava rock is formed above when the volcano erupts.

Magma igneous is formed underground, and lava igneous is formed above ground. so you would probably find magma igneous underground and vise versa. Also lava has a bubble pattern and magma rock does not, it has cyrystals.
Scientists can tell if an igneous rock is made from lava or magma by its location. Cooled magma forms rock inside of the Earth's crust, while lava, which is magma that reaches the surface of the Earth, obviously would make rocks on the surface. Rocks made from magma are called intrusive igneous rocks, and rocks made from lava are called extrusive. Also, since cooling takes longer underground, they can tell by the size of the crystals within the rocks.
They might be different colors.
ReplyDeleteThey can break it open and see whats in the center.
ReplyDeleteThe rock may be a different color or size.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell by the shape and size and color.
ReplyDeleteThey are different weights and colors.
ReplyDeleteA scientist would be able to tell if lava or magma has turned into Igneous rock because the rock will be right by the volcano

ReplyDeleteLava is darker, magma is lighter.
ReplyDeleteIf they brake it apart.
ReplyDeleteThe colors changed based on how much air is in it.
ReplyDeleteI meant lava make darker rock, and magma make lighter rock.
ReplyDeletethe lava can be darker magma is lighter

ReplyDeletelava is darker than magma
ReplyDeleteThey can because lava-formed igneous rock has has crystals, and magma-formed igneous rock does not. Also, magma rock is formed underground, leaving it with no crystals, and lava rock is formed above when the volcano erupts
ReplyDeleteA scientist can determine if igneous rock was formed by lava/magma if by if it's darker it will be iron and if lighter crystals will be inside.
ReplyDeleteMagma is lighter and lava is darker
ReplyDeletebecause it will not float on top of the water because it is solid
ReplyDeleteThey would be able to tell by the color and shapes.
ReplyDeletei meant lava is darker than magma
ReplyDeleteScientist can tell the difference because lava is darker than magma and igneous rocks that are formed from lava have crystals.

to tell tell the two apart is if its lava its above ground and magma if its underground of the other way around.

ReplyDeleteWhen magma pushes up through Earth's crust to the surface it is called lava. Both magma and lava cool and harden to form igneous rocks.
ReplyDeletemagma forms igneous rock when it cools down
ReplyDeleteone is ligter one is darker it is simpale p.s catfish
ReplyDeleteIgneous rock has crystals and Magma does not.
ReplyDeleteThis is a trick question. Magma and lava are the same thing! They can't tell BECAUSE THIS IS A TRICK!
ReplyDeleteNice try. c;
because lava is on the ground and magma is underground
