Yes, granite is formed from cooling magma.
No, granite forms from the slow cooling and solidification of molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. This process allows the minerals within the rock to crystallize and form the characteristic interlocking grain structure of granite.
Granite takes longer to form than rhyolite. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth's crust, which can take millions of years. Rhyolite, on the other hand, is an extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava at the surface, which occurs more quickly than the formation of granite.
Granite and gabbro are the two biggies, granite being formed underground by felsic magma, and gabbro being formed underground by mafic magma. Diorite and peridotite are two others.
When magma rises, it can solidify to form igneous rocks like granite or basalt. If the magma reaches the Earth's surface, it can erupt as lava and form volcanic landforms such as volcanoes or volcanic islands.
Igneous rocks form from magma as it cools and solidifies. Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.

granite is all that i know of.
the granite is made out of magma
Magma forms coarse crystalline intrusive igneous rocks such as granite or gabbro, depending on the chemical composition of the magma.
In the volcano/magma chamber, different minerals that make up granite, (feldspar, quartz, etc.) mix to form grainy, large crystals of the different minerals. That is how granite is formed.
Granite is the rock type/magma produced when one melts continental crust. It can also form by fractionation of more basaltic magmas.
No, granite does not form as a lava flow. Granite forms deep underground from the slow cooling of magma. Lava flows are composed of different types of igneous rocks, such as basalt or andesite, that form at the Earth's surface during volcanic eruptions.
No, granite forms from the slow cooling and solidification of molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. This process allows the minerals within the rock to crystallize and form the characteristic interlocking grain structure of granite.
Intrusive igneous rock would form. Granite is an example. If the same magma that formed the granite had reached the surface through volcanic eruption, the extrusive igneous rock rhyolite would form.
They form in essentially the same way, the only real difference being in composition. They form as magma slowly cools deep underground, allowing large crystals to form. Granite forms from magma that is rich in silica, sodium, and potassium. Diorite forms from magma that has somewhat less silica and more iron, calcium, and magnesium.
Granite and basalt are made when magma cools. Granite forms from slow-cooling magma underneath the Earth's surface, while basalt forms from rapidly-cooling magma on the surface.
