Is cool magma sinking and warm magma convection?
When cool magma sinks and warm magma rises, yes that is convection.
Lava and what can cool to become igneous rocks?
magma
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
When magma cooled on surface?
Magma doesn't cool on the surface as soon as it comes out of the earth it's lava
Why can different types of igneous rock form?
Because there are different types of magma and different pathways for that magma to cool.

What does magma need to do for a rock to form?
Magma is basicaly the same as lava, except magma is still in the volcano, when magma has come out of the volcano, it has become lava.
What temperature does magma solidify?
The composition of the magma effects the temperature it will cool and solidify at. In general most magma solidify at about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
How is obsedian formed?
By cool magma meets with water.

When does magma stop flowing?
When it becomes too cool, and then it will solidify.
Does intrusive rock cool fast or slow from magma?
slow
Why does magma cool at different rates?
When Magma solidifies within the earth, it cools down very slowly because the rock surrounding the magma are also hot.
What rocks cool from magma or lava?
magma cools into intrusive igneous rock while lava into extrusive igneous rock
