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.
Is granite an igneous rock?
Yes, granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
True or false granite is a metamorphic rock?
It is false. Granite is a igneous rock that was formed from magma cooling and hardening.
Which rock takes a longer time to form rhyolite or 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.
What type of rocks is formed by coolong magma or lava?
The type of rock formed by cooling of Magma or Lava is Igneous
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?
A rock formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface would have smaller mineral grains due to rapid cooling, making it fine-grained (such as basalt). In contrast, a rock formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust would have larger mineral grains due to slower cooling, resulting in a coarse-grained texture (such as granite).
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..
Type of rock formed when lava or magma cools?
Igneous rock is formed when lava or magma cools and solidifies. This process can result in different types of igneous rocks, such as basalt, granite, and obsidian, depending on the speed of cooling and mineral content.
What rocks are formed after lava dries out?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
Rocks formed from the cooling of magma or lava?
igneous rock
What is igneous rock formed from cooling of magma called?

What is a rock formed y molten material cooling?
Igneous rocks are formed by lava or magma cooling
What is formed by cooled magma cooling?
it is lava and when lava cools it forms igneous rock
