Create chart showing the most likely rock to be formed from lava under the following conditions: The lava was at 1000 degrees Celsius, fully mixed, when it erupted; Or when it sat underground and cooled slowly; The lava was fairly cool, about 800 degrees C, when it erupted; Or when it sat underground and cooled slowly.

Lava is the melted rock that is erupted during the volcanic processes. In the context of Earth, its crust is a superheated zone and in that place, all the rocks and minerals are melted due to the high temperature. The temperature of lava can range from 700 degrees Celsius to a maximum of around 1200 degrees Celsius. After cooling lava turns into volcanic rock, but before cooling, it can float for a long time and destroy everything in its path. Lava finally solidifies as it has properties like shear thinning and thixotropisicm.

Lava temperature and rock formation.

1000-degree lava: In 1000 degrees lava is changed to a dark red color, and it generally gains more speed than cooler lava, because of the existence of the magma gas bubbles. If the lava does not explode it will mean that it has a lower number of gas bubbles that prevented the volcanic eruptions, and it will ultimately stay in the Earth’s crust and take part in all the geological processes there.

800-degree lava: The lava is cooler than earlier, but still as per the temperature of the lava is concerned, it can be termed as superior heated lava and generally becomes dark red in color. The lava of these types form volcanic rocks, and sometimes (seen mostly in Hawaii Islands) the lava forms new lands in the sea every year. However, the process is a very slow process and takes millions of years to form an island.
