Rocks in earth's mantle and crust melt due to extreme temperatures and turn into magma. Hot magma erupts as lava above earth's surface during a volcanic eruption. Being exposed to a cooler temperature, the lava starts cooling down quickly. The lava solidifies into a rock formation with a fine-grained or smooth surface.
