Are rocks formed from molted rocks igneous rock?

Answer 1

Yes, igneous rocks are formed from molten rock, which can either be magma (when below the Earth's surface) or lava (when it erupts onto the surface). When magma cools and solidifies underground, it forms intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite. Conversely, when lava cools and solidifies on the surface, it creates extrusive igneous rocks, like basalt. Thus, both types of igneous rocks originate from molten rock.
