What is the process called when magma transition into intrusive igneous rock?
By Magma I'm guessing you mean the molten sedimentary rocks. The process is called metamorphism.
What is the process through which single parent magma can form rocks with different compositions?
The process through which single parent magma can form rocks with different compositions is known as fractional crystallization. It occurs as the magma cools and solidifies, with different minerals crystallizing at different temperatures. As these minerals crystallize and settle out of the magma, they can form different rock compositions depending on the minerals that have formed. This process can produce a range of rock compositions from a single parent magma.
What does magma have to do with igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma.
Why are all extrusive rocks made from lava and not magma?
Magma contains rocks which are not suitable for making extrusive rocks. Magma is only inside the chamber of a volcano, and comes out as lava. There is 98.3% Magma will be made into extrusive rocks.
Are rocks formed by lava or magma?
Magma
What happens to magma when it produces igneous rocks?
The transition form magma to rock is a process of cooling.
What rocks are formed from the heat of a magma chamber?
Intrusive Igneous rocks
Process that change rocks next to a body of magma?
Regional Metamorphism

What are the steps to rock cycle?
A rock cycle starts off as magma. Then as the magma cools, crystals form, and eventually the magma solidify into igneous rocks. The process breaks down into sedimentary rocks. The processes change a pre-existing igneous or sedimentary rock into a new rock called metamorphic rocks, then it melts into magma and the process starts all over.
What is a contact to metamorphism?
A process that alters rocks as a result of heat generated from magma
Rocks are formed when magma does what?
Rocks are formed when magma cools.

Rocks subjected to intense heat when they are intruded by magma undergo a process called?
contact metamophism

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.
