Solution

Lava rocks are fine-grained because the lava cools and solidifies rapidly upon reaching the earth’s surface during volcanic eruptions. This fast cooling allows only small crystals to form, resulting in small and smooth crystal structures in the rock. Such rocks are called extrusive igneous rocks or lava rocks.
