Intrusive igneous rock would form. Granite is an example. If the same magma that formed the granite had reached the surface through volcanic eruption, the extrusive igneous rock rhyolite would form.

What material is magma after it is cooled and crystallized?
It becomes igneous rock.
What rocks are extrusive?
Extrusive igneous rocks are formed by magma. The magma is crystallized after being pushed to the surface of the Earth. They usually are very fine grained. A really common extrusive rock would be Basalt.
What do igneous form from?
An igneous rock has crystallized and solidified from molten rock (magma) either below ground (intrusive igneous rock) or at or near the surface (extrusive igneous rock). Igneous rocks are composed of minerals.
Intrusive igneous rock forms where?
Intrusive igneous formed due to consolidate of magma within the earth.
What igneous rock would form from the magma if it did not reach the surface but instead crystallized at great depth?
If magma does not reach the surface and instead crystallizes at great depth, it forms an intrusive igneous rock called granite. Granite is coarse-grained and typically composed of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. It forms slowly over millions of years beneath the Earth's surface before being exposed through erosion.
What is the name of a magma cooled on the surface?
When magma cools on the surface it forms igneous rock.
What igneous rock formed from magma below earth's surface is called?
Igneous rock formed from cooling magma below the surface is called intrusive igneous rock.
Rocks that form as a result of cooling magma?
Rocks formed from magma are igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks form from lava at or near the surface. Intrusive rocks form from magma below the surface.
6 letter word of a rock that is formed when magma cools at the Earth's surface?
quartz ---------------------------------- Your question is ambiguous, is it the name of a mineral you want, or the name of a magma that is cooled below the earths surface?Quartz is OK for a mineral but if you want the 6 letter name for the rock then:- A pluton in geology is an intrusive igneous rock body that crystallized from magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth.
What feature in igneous rocks is the best indication of how rapidly the magma crystallized?
The size of the crystals. Large crystals mean the magma cooled slowly, small crystals are a sign that the magma was cooled quickly.
What is igneous rocks that form from magma that reaches the surface of the earth?
Extrusive Igneous Rock.
Which rock type forms from cooled magma?
what type of rock is formed from magma and cooled on earth surface
