When hot lava cools and hardens, it becomes solid rock known as igneous rock.
No, hardened lava is not considered a mineral. Minerals have a defined chemical composition and crystal structure, whereas hardened lava is a type of rock formed from solidified molten magma.
Igneous rocks
Well, Lava is liquid rock. So therefore hardened lava must be rock; igneous rock to be specific.
Yes,Scoria (a type of Basalt) Basalt is a dark-colored rock that formed as lava cooled and hardened. Scoria is a type of basalt that's full of bubble holes. The bubbles formed as the lava was blasted out of a volcano, and were trapped as the lava cooled and hardened.

The hardened layer of lava is called "igneous rock".
No, hardened lava is not considered a mineral. Minerals have a defined chemical composition and crystal structure, whereas hardened lava is a type of rock formed from solidified molten magma.
The cycles are molten rock, lava, and then hardened lava like obsidian.
igneous rocks
The particles in a hardened lava sample will be solidified and compacted, while the particles in a liquid lava sample will be molten and in a flowing state. The hardened lava particles will have a crystalline structure, whereas the liquid lava particles will lack a fixed arrangement due to their high temperature.
No, it forms a volcano.
Extrusive igneous rock.
A hardened layer of magma is called a lava flow or volcanic rock.
