Limestone is not formed from magma; it is a common sedimentary rock.
However it may be worth noting that there is a rare form of igneous rock known as Carbonatite which is formed predominately from carbonate minerals and may be confused with Marble, however it is never described as Limestone.

Which kind of magma is more likely form a volcanic rock?
Rhyolitic magma, high in quartz and feldspar. Forms granite underground, rhyolite above ground.
Which rocks are formed from a hot magma?
igneous rock
Basaltic magma forms what kind of igneous rock?
Mafic igneous rock. ( due to Ferromagnesian minerals).
How does limestone turn into marble in the earth?
When limestone is under high pressure from overlaying rock layers and is heated by magma it can form marble.
When a sedimetary rock melts what kind of rock does it form?
When a sedimentary rock or any other rock kind melts, it becomes magma and when it sollidifies it forms an igneous rock.
What type of rock forms from basaltic magma?
Sandstone and limestone and obsidion
What kind of rock is likely to form where the heat from the granitic magma is conducted to the limestone country rock?
The metamorphosed limestone will most likely be a skarn or marble, both formed from contact with an intruding granitic magma.
What kind of rock forms from magma?
igneous rock
What kind of mineral does magma form when it cools?
When magma cools, it forms igneous rock.
Which kind of magma is more likely form a volcanic rock?
Rhyolitic magma, high in quartz and feldspar. Forms granite underground, rhyolite above ground.
What kind of rock is likely to form where the heat the granitic magma is conducted to the limestone country rock?
The rock which will form will be marble because the limestone undergoes metamorphosis (partial recrystallisation).
What kind of rock forms when magma or lava cool and hardens?
Igneous rocks
What kind of volcano forms when magma is being forced up?
IT IS A Sheild volcano
Does limestone forms form skeletons and shells?
limestone forms from skeletons and shells
What kind of rock forms from magma that cools below the earth's surface?
Intrusive Igneous Rock.
Which rocks are formed from a hot magma?
