( compose = put together; comprise = contain, consist of.) Usage of the phrase 'is comprised of' is avoided by careful speakers and writers."

First of all, thanks for the quick reply.
Second, let's substitute(as per above explantion) "contained in" for "comprised in" in my sentences:-
a) Lava is made of silica, the same material which is
contained in in glass and sand.
b)Lava is made of silica which is the same material
contained in sand and glass."
Do you still insist that my usage is incorrect??
Just to let you know that I am quite aware of the difference between "comprised
of" and "comprised
in" and also, I didn't write "Lava is made up of silica which is the same material sand and glass are
comprised of"
