The composition of the magma is very important for solidificatoin temperature. When it starts to cool, crystals of minerals begin to grow.
If it has a low silica content - which means high melting point - the magma will solidify at high temeratures.
If it has a high silica content - which means low melting point - it will solidify at lower temperatures.
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity

lava rock
magma cools and solidifies.
All of these factors affect the viscosity of magma. The amount of gases can influence the fluidity, while the silica content directly impacts thickness, and temperature affects the overall mobility of the magma. Therefore, none of these factors can be excluded as they all play a role in determining viscosity.
Magma consists of molten rocks and metals. The composition can vary based on presence of water, metals with different melting points, and such.
igneous rocks
When magma cools and solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.

Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
No. Magma is already at least partially molten. Mineral crystallize when magma solidifies.
