As rock is pushed down toward the the Earth's center it gets hotter and hotter.
Igneous rock
The mantle is made up of solid rock, specifically solid mantle rock in the upper part and more ductile solid rock in the lower part. Magma is only present when it is partially molten rock that forms in specific regions of the mantle.
No, solid rock located deep in the mantle is not called magma. Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface in the mantle and crust. Solid rock in the mantle is known as the lithosphere.
Magma
The Earth's crust is made of solid rock, not magma. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while the crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth.
Igneous rocks are formed when magma solidifies, or becomes solid. Rocks become magma when they undergo extreme heat.

Magma
It cools and becomes solid
The Earth's crust is made of solid rock, not magma. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while the crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth.
When magma solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.
Rock, because it is a solid and cooler.
Magma is molten rock under ground whereas molten rock that flows out of the ground is lava and igneous rock is solid when the lava or magma hardens.
Cooling a liquid turns it into a solid. I.E. Freezing water into ice, or magma cooling into rock.
No. Magma varies in density, but it will be less dense than a solid rock of the same composition.
