All the three existing rock families/types/classes (ie, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) can form magma, if they become hot enough to melt and change to molten form.

What kind of mineral does magma form when it cools?
When magma cools, it forms igneous rock.
Which two ways igneous rock can form?
Lick my nips
What is a type of rock formed by cooled magma?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma as it cools.
What is igneous rock formed from magma?
An igneous rock formed from magma is intrusive.
Where does in intrusive igneous rock form?
formed when molten rocks called magma becomes trapped in small pockets . As these pockets of magma cools slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks
How does magma from igneous rock?
magma cools to form igneous rock
Which process in the rock cycle causes magma to form?
Melting is the process in the rock cycle that causes magma to form.
Does magma form when rock begins to melt?
Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
What rock is formed form magma?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma as it cools.
Does sedimentary rock form from the cooling of magma?
No. Igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma.
How can rock minerals form?
Rock minerals form from lava, magma or solutions.
In what order does magma become a rock?
Magma forms from heated rock--it cools--minerals form--when totally solidified it is a rock.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
How does igneous rock from?
magma cools to form igneous rock
What do heat and pressure deep below Earth's surface change existing rock into?
Some form of metamorphic rock would result; if the temperatures are high enough, the rock could partially or completely melt, resulting in magma.
What is a type of rock formed by pressure on large masses of rock?
Metamorphic rocks are buried deep inside Earth. There is enough heat and pressure to change the rocks, but not enough to melt it into magma. Metamorphic rocks can form adjacent to layers of magma, because of the generated heat, however
What do you need for an igneous rock to form?
magma
