How does an Igneous rock turn into Magma?
No. If it cools as magma it will form an intrusive igneous rock. To form an extrusive igenous rock it must erupt from a volcano, where it becomes lava or pyroclastic material.
Is it possible for granite to transform into an igneous rock?
Granite already is an igenous rock, but it can melt and then re-solidify to form an igenous rock again. The new rock might not necessarily be granite, either if the melted granite erupts from a volcano or mixes with magma of a different composition.
