How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
Is granite formed from lava cooling or magma cooling?
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.
Is it true that extrusive rocks are formed if the solidification of magma occurs inside the earth?
No. Extrusive igneous rock is formed at or near the surface from rapid cooling. Intrusive igneous rock is formed below the surface from slow cooling of magma.
What is a type of rock formed by cooled magma?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma as it cools.
What does igneous rock form from?
Igneous rocks are called fire rocks and are formed either underground or above ground. Underground, they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks.Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.
Rocks made by the cooling of magma are called?

What igneous rock formed from magma below earth's surface is called?
Igneous rock formed from cooling magma below the surface is called intrusive igneous rock.
What is the term for rock formed from magma or lava?
