Is igneous rock formed by crystallization of molten rock?

Yes, igneous rock is formed when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies, leading to the crystallization of minerals within the rock. This process can occur both beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) and on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).


What is formed from the crystallization of magma?

When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks such as granite, basalt, or obsidian. The specific type of rock that forms depends on variables such as the composition of the magma, cooling rate, and environment in which it solidifies.


Magma that solidifies before reaching the earth's surface is called?

When magma solidifies before reaching Earth's surface it is called intrusive igneous rock, plutonic rock, a pluton. Igneous rock is formed from crystallization of molten magma.
