Why don't igneous rocks look like magma rocks if igneous rock is formed from magma?

Because that is the very definition of igneous rock.

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.
Sentence for igneous rock?
Even hard igneous rocks get weathered away eventually over millions of years to form sand grains.To the west of the twin towers, 14 rock groins were built using large blocks of hard, mainly igneous, rock.Igneous rock formed deep within the earth.Igneous complex had four phases, acid, basic, acid, basic.
Are Igneous rocks found in NH?
No dont think
Titanium ores can occur as?
Titanium ore can occur as vein mineral deposits, magma formed rocks, and beach sands.
Can metamorphic rocks be sedimentary or igneous rocks?
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99

Why are new igneous rocks formed at constructive and destructive plate boundaries?
dont no
Are igneous rocks being formed in the UK today?
maybe i dont know for certain though

How do you classify igneous rocks?
Look at them. There shape, size, color and feel! Dont worry you will figure it out....
Titanium ores can occur as?
Titanium ore can occur as vein mineral deposits, magma formed rocks, and beach sands.
How do igneous rocks produce big or small crystals?
The small crystals are formed outside the volcano by the cold air... the cold air cools down the igneous rock and the crystals dont have time to join together so the are small. And the big crystals are formed inside the volcano very slowly and that way they have time to join together then there are big crystals that have been formed.
What does the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle is the natural process in which rocks transform from one rock type into another rock type over time, a type of natural recycling.Igneous rocks, which are formed from magma cooling underground, or lava above ground are formed from previous igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks which have become melted, usually as a result of plate collision and subduction.------->When these igneous rocks are exposed to weathering and erosion, they break down into smaller particles that are transported by wind and water to a place of deposition, where they can form into sedimentary rock strata, through a process of lithification, where excess water is squeezed out by overburden pressures and the particles are cemented together by various minerals precipitating out of solution. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can both be turned into sedimentary rocks in this way.------->Igneous and sedimentary rocks can also be changed by heat and/or pressure into metamorphic rocks, by transforming their existing mineral structures into new minerals or realigning the existing minerals. There are different degrees of metamorphism, so even an existing metamorphic rock can become a different metamorphic rock. -------->If these metamorphic rocks are melted, then solidify, they become igneous rocks, and the cycle starts all over again.The rock cycle is largely driven by lithospheric plate movements which cause subduction and uplift, also by climatic conditions and the associated erosional elements.
