Not from the magma, no. Cooled and solidified magma is classified as igneous. However, metamorphic rocks can be formed as the heat and hot fluids of intruding magma affect the properties and possibly the chemistry of the existing "country rock" into which it comes in contact. This process is called contact metamorphism.

What determines the type of mineral formed by cooling magma?
The rate of cooling of the magma determines the type of mineral formed by the magma or lava..
What is igneous rock formed from cooling of magma called?
lava
What type of rocks form from lava after a volcanic eruption?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidifying of magma. The resulting rock can be instrusive (magma cooling within the crust) and extrusive (lava cooling on the surface). The most common kind of rocks are Granite (intrusive) and Basalt (extrusive).
What trait is an intrusive igneous rock?
If a rock is intrusive, that means that it formed from magma inside the Earth. An example is granite. The opposite is extrusive, which forms from cooling lava from volcanoes. An extrusive rock is obsidian.
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
What type of rocks is formed by coolong magma or lava?
The type of rock formed by cooling of Magma or Lava is Igneous
What determines the type of mineral formed by cooling magma?

What causes igneous rock to form?
Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
What rocks are formed after lava dries out?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
Why doesn't granite have airholes?
Granite is formed from magma, not lava. And, no, they are not the same thing. Magma is inside of the Earth, but lava is what you get after the magma reaches Earth's surface and gasses within it expand when the pressure is deduced.
Rocks formed from the cooling of magma or lava?
igneous rock
What is igneous rock formed from cooling of magma called?
lava
What is a rock formed y molten material cooling?
Igneous rocks are formed by lava or magma cooling
How would a rock that formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface compare with a rock that formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust?
The rock that formed from lava would have smaller crystals than the rock that formed from magma.
What is formed by cooled magma cooling?
it is lava and when lava cools it forms igneous rock
Which rock takes a longer time to form rhyolite or granite?
Rhyolite cools faster from magma (lava) than does granite, which forms from slow cooling of magma deep underground. Granite.
How are extrusive igneous rocks are formed?
They are formed from the cooling and solidification of lava or magma at or near the surface of the Earth.
