If a magma of higher temperature cools down, certain minerals solidify first. Eventually, those minerals that remain liquid at the lowest temperatures solidify the latest. The rock that is then formed is Granite (if it's intrusive), or Rhyolite (if it's extrusive)

What rock type is formed from the slow cooling of magma under the earths surface?
Magma cooling beneath the surface creates intrusive igneous rocks.
Which rock type forms from cooling on earth's surface?
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of molten material called magma.
What are two factors affect the type of igneous rock that is formed?
The mineral composition of the magma and the rate at which it cools determines what rock forms.
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.
What type of rock forms at the edges of cooling magma chambers within earth?
Extrusive Igneous Its intrusive igneous A+
What is the type of rock that forms with the cooling of magma?

What type of rock is magma made of?
Magma IS made of melted rock and minerals. Not what type of rock. All types of rock.

What affects the type of igneous rock that is formed?
Mineral composition of the magma, Rate of cooling of the magma, Temperature of the magma, Presence of volatiles and Amount of water present in the magma.
Which rock type forms from cooling on earth's surface?
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of molten material called magma.
How does the rate of cooling affect the type of igneous rock formed?
The rate at which the rock cool from the liquid magma determines their texture
