What does felsic magma make after its solid?
It will form granite if it cools underground and rhyolite if it cools at the surface.
Can granite form as a lava flow?
No. Granite forms when granitic magma cools deep underground. When granitic magma erupts as lava it cools more quickly and forms a rock called rhyolite.
Where do granite and basalt form?
Granite forms deep underground as felsic magma cools, mostly under continents. Basalt forms at or near the surface as mafic magma cools, typically on oceanic plates.
What rock does magma form when it cools?
Magma forms coarse crystalline intrusive igneous rocks such as granite or gabbro, depending on the chemical composition of the magma.
Is granite formed from the metamorphism of a shale?
No. The metamorphism of shale forms slate. Granite is formed when high-silica magma cools underground.
Is granite made by magma that was trapped in the earth's crust?
Yes. Granite forms when silica-rich magma cools underground.
Is volcanic glass a Granite?
No. Granite cools from magma deep underground. Volcanic glass cools quickly at or near the surface.

What rocks that form when magma cools underground?
granite is all that i know of.

What is granite out of?
the granite is made out of magma
Which rock takes a longer time to form rhyolite or granite?
Rhyolite cools faster from magma (lava) than does granite, which forms from slow cooling of magma deep underground. Granite.
Is granite a stone?
Yes. Granite is an igneous rock. It is formed when magma cools slowly below the surface of the earth.
What rock does magma form when it cools?
Magma forms coarse crystalline intrusive igneous rocks such as granite or gabbro, depending on the chemical composition of the magma.
Is granite formed from the metamorphism of a shale?
No. The metamorphism of shale forms slate. Granite is formed when high-silica magma cools underground.
How is granite from in a volcano?
Granite may form in associate with a volcano if magma high in silica, potassium, and sodium becomes trapped in the magma chamber or other structures underground and cools and hardens in place.
