Yes, if an igneous rock is heated, it will re-melt and turn back into magma.

What rock comes directly from magma?

Igneous rocks like basalt and granite are formed directly from magma cooling and solidifying.


What does magma have to do with igneous rocks?

Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks. The cooling process can occur either slowly beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or rapidly on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).


Which rock type forms from the solidification of magma?

Igneous rocks form from the solidification of magma. This process can occur either underground (intrusive igneous rocks) or at the surface (extrusive igneous rocks), depending on the cooling rate of the magma. Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.


What class or rocks are made from lava or magma?

Rocks made from lava or magma are classified as igneous rocks. Igneous rocks form when molten rock cools and solidifies, either on the Earth's surface (extrusive) as lava or below the surface (intrusive) as magma. Examples of igneous rocks include basalt, granite, and obsidian.


Which type of rock cannot become another type of rock?

Sedimentary rocks cannot become metamorphic rocks or igneous rocks directly; however, they can transform into metamorphic rocks under heat and pressure. The process of sedimentary rock formation involves the accumulation of particles and organic material, which means that while they can change forms, they cannot become igneous rocks without first being melted into magma. Thus, while sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic forms, they do not directly transition into igneous rocks.

How do igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?

The metamorphic rock melts into magma then cools into igneous rock


How do rocks change from metamorphic or sedimentary rocks to igneous rocks?

Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can change into igneous rocks through the process of melting and cooling. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, the rocks can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify, forming igneous rocks.


Magma cools and solidifies to form what rocks?

igneous rocks

What is the change of state when magma crystallizes from igneous rock?

Your question as phrased is unclear. I will proceed to answer both interpretations I have of your question. Note: When magma crystallizes, it forms igneous rocks. 1) What is the change of state when magma forms from igneous rock? - Melting. Rocks are the solid state of matter and magma is the liquid state (although it can be a very viscous liquid). Changing something from solid to liquid is melting. 2) What is the change of state when magma crystallizes to form igneous rocks? - Solidification/Freezing. Magma becomes too cold to continue in a liquid state, it solidifies and crystallizes into solid igneous rocks: freezing.


How is magma and igneous rocks related?

Magma is molten rock, and igneous rock is cooled magma.


What is the only kind of rock that can form directly from magma?

By definition. A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, chemical, organic, or clastic. A metamorphic rock has undergone a change in mineral alignment or mineral composition due to heat and/or pressure. An igneous rock forms from solidification of magma via cooling.


Where would igneous rocks be at?

Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)


Which rock type forms from the solidification of magma?

How do igneous rocks form?

Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
