How is it possible to have more than one type of igneous rock form from a particular magma?
Shar123168
If a portion of the magma stays undergound and cools, it will become an intrusive igneous rock, with a fairly large crystalline structure. If the remaining portion of the magma reaches the surface, it will cool quickly, with a small crystalline structure and become an extrusive igneous rock. The chemical composition of the two rocks, however, will be identical.

Rocks that form as a result of cooling magma?
Rocks formed from magma are igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks form from lava at or near the surface. Intrusive rocks form from magma below the surface.
What do you need for an igneous rock to form?
magma
Magma cools and solidifies to form what rocks?
igneous rocks
In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?
Heat must melt the sedimentary,metamorphic,or igneous and it will turn to magma
How do fine grain igneous rock form?
Fine-grained igneous rocks form when the magma cools quickly.
How does magma from igneous rock?
magma cools to form igneous rock
Is igneous form by magma?

How does igneous rock from?
magma cools to form igneous rock
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
What do you need for an igneous rock to form?
magma
What will form when magma cools?
Igneous rock.
Rocks that form as a result of cooling magma?
Rocks formed from magma are igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks form from lava at or near the surface. Intrusive rocks form from magma below the surface.
How can you get different igneous rocks from the same magma body?
Magma underground may differentiate and form different intrusive igneous rock. Magma from the magma body may erupt, cool, quickly, and form fine-grained extrusive igneous rock, or partially remain underground and form intrusive igneous rock. The type of igneous rock formed from the magma body will largely depend on whether or not it is erupted, and the speed of its cooling.
What must be present for magma to form into igneous rock?
Igneous rocks develops when magma comes through the crust and cools.
What is solid form of magma body?
When magma solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.
Which type of rock does magma form when it hardens?
Igneous
What happens to magma to form igneous rock?
it cools
