magma can be classified into two,magma of granitic composition(originates from lower continental crust) and magma of basaltic composition (which originates from upper mantle).Both can form intrusive rocks.

What type of rocks form when magma cools below earths surface?
Intrusive igneous rocks.
Which type of rocks forms from magma that cools deep underground?
Plutonic (intrusive) igneous rock
Are intrusive rocks rough and coarse?
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from slow cooling of magma. The additional time spent in a liquid state allows for the creation of larger mineral crystals. A rock with larger mineral crystals is said to have a coarse texture.
What is the type of Igneous rock that forms underground?
Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary rocks
What does the term intrusive igneous rock mean?

What rock type is formed from the slow cooling of magma under the earths surface?
Magma cooling beneath the surface creates intrusive igneous rocks.
What type of rocks includes intrusive and extrusive kinds of rocks?
Igneous.
How can you get different igneous rocks from the same magma body?
Magma underground may differentiate and form different intrusive igneous rock. Magma from the magma body may erupt, cool, quickly, and form fine-grained extrusive igneous rock, or partially remain underground and form intrusive igneous rock. The type of igneous rock formed from the magma body will largely depend on whether or not it is erupted, and the speed of its cooling.
What type of rock can become magma?
Cooled and solidified magma that rests below the surface becomes intrusive igneous rock. When magma is erupted onto the surface, then cools and solidifies, it becomes extrusive igneous rock. The major rock classification for cooled magma or lava would be IGNEOUS.
What type of rock can be extrusive or intrusive?
Igneous rocks
Is sill a type of lava flow?
A Sill is formed when a fluid rock (usually magma but it can be mud or salt) is squeezed in between the layers (usually horizontal) of older rocks before it solidifies in place. A Dike or Dyke is the opposite, here the fluid rock penetrates across the layering of the older rocks. Logically to get the material to form a Sill there must be an accompanying feeder Dyke.
What type of rocks are produced from the molten material deep beneath the surface of the Earth called magma?
Such rock is referred to as plutonic igneous rock if it is part of a large solidified mass of magma at large depths in the crust, or as intrusive igneous rock if simply solidified at some depth within the crust. Plutonic igneous rock is therefore a type of intrusive igneous rock.
