Lava solidifies to rock. New Zealand has 3 main types of volcanoes, and each has been formed from a different type of magma. Once the lava has erupted, it cools and solidifies into rock: 1  Basalt magma often forms shield volcanoes. 2  Andesite magma often forms cone volcanoes.asalt is associated with great rock columns that are found in many places around the Earth, for example, the Organ Pipes in Dunedin or the Giantâs Causeway in Ireland. Basalt magma is formed at high temperatures (around 1,200ÂºC). When it comes out of the volcano, it is hot and liquid.

The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today.ontinental/Continental: The Himalayas.

The Himalayas are a range of mountains in southern Asia, generally between India and China. The mountains in the range include many of the highest in the world. The Himalaya â¦ s were pushed up by the collision between India and the Asian continental plate, and some are still slowly and steadily increasing in height.he Himalayas are still growing because the Indo-Australian plate is still colliding with the Eurasian plate (Convergent plate boundaries), which makes it grow higher. India is a sub-continent of Asia.
