Answer:

Lava eruptions can be “fire fountains” of liquid rock or thick, slow-moving rivers of molten material. Lava cools to form volcanic rock as well as volcanic glass. Magma can also extrude into Earth's atmosphere as part of a violent volcanic explosion. This magma solidifies in the air to form volcanic rock called tephra.
