All types of rock can melt. Thus potentially ALL types of rocks can form a magma. Your question - asking for 3 types, is therefore meaningless.

What are the three ways that igneous rocks form or differ?
Three ways ingenuous rocks form are by magma cooling below, at or beneath the surface. Magma forms when rock is heated, changes composition and/or pressure is released.
What type of rocks from when magma erupts from undersea volcano?
All three rock types could be formed in areas under the seas. Two types of rock are most likely to form on the seafloor, however. Sedimentary rock is formed on the seafloor where accumulations of sediments undergo lithification processes. Extrusive igneous rock can form on the seafloor when lava erupts on its surface.
What Rock formed by the crystallization of magma?
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of lava.Intrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
Is magma the source of all rocks on earth?
No, while all rocks on Earth were molten at one point, most rock types do not form from magma. Rocks that form from magma or lava are igneous rocks. Most of the rocks at Earth's surface are sedimentary. These rocks form from the remains of rock that have been broken own into tiny pieces or dissolved in water. These components eventually settle, usually in a body of water, and are buried and turned to stone. Metamorphic rocks make up a third category. These form from rocks that have been altered under enormous heat and pressure while remaining solid.
What types of rocks form each type of magma?
igneous rocks
Exaples of chemical weathering?
what types of rocks form when magma cools
What rock families can form magma if hot enough?
All the three existing rock families/types/classes (ie, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) can form magma, if they become hot enough to melt and change to molten form.
What are the three ways that igneous rocks form or differ?
Three ways ingenuous rocks form are by magma cooling below, at or beneath the surface. Magma forms when rock is heated, changes composition and/or pressure is released.
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.
Where do intrusives rocks form?
They form underground from the cooling and solidification of magma.
Why do rocks form?
Igneous rocks form because, magma cools under the ground, or magma erupts, then cools on the ground forming these rocks.
What type of rocks from when magma erupts from undersea volcano?
All three rock types could be formed in areas under the seas. Two types of rock are most likely to form on the seafloor, however. Sedimentary rock is formed on the seafloor where accumulations of sediments undergo lithification processes. Extrusive igneous rock can form on the seafloor when lava erupts on its surface.
When magma hardens beneath earths surface what is the type of rock that is formed?
Magma hardening beneath the Earth's crust is called 'intrusive' magma (rather than 'eruptive' or 'extrusive' magma). Such magmas, when cooling, form rocks with larger crystals (because they cool slowly) and form rock types such as 'Granite' (acid) or 'Gabbro' (basic). They may also form Layered Igneous Intrusions and batholyths. All of these are types of 'Igneous' rocks (as are lavas). They DO NOT turn into metamorphic rocks as they cool from the liquid state. However, the rocks into which they are intruded may be thermally metamorphosed by the hot magma.
How does magma form into ignous rocks?
igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma.
How are the three different types of rocks different?
Each of the rocks form in a different way.
Where is igneous rock formed?
Igneous rock is formed when hot magma from inside the earth meets the earth's outer crust and eventually cools to form one of the three different types of rock.
