This indicates that Hawaii might have had more felsic lavas and more explosive eruptions 100 and 200 thousand years ago than in 1959. The weight percent of K2O and Na2O of the lava has also fluctuated throughout the years.These changes are the result of the magma changing from andesite rich lava to more basalt rich over time. The

    What forms after volcano eruption and after magma cools? Igneous rock forms when superheated volcanic liquid‚ also called magma‚ cools and thus hardens through a process of crystallization in one of two manners: by cooling and crystallization on the Earth’s surface such as after a volcanic eruption; or by cooling more gradually through a process of rising as it cools through the magma while still below the Earth’s surface.
