How can you get different igneous rocks from the same magma body?
Magma underground may differentiate and form different intrusive igneous rock. Magma from the magma body may erupt, cool, quickly, and form fine-grained extrusive igneous rock, or partially remain underground and form intrusive igneous rock. The type of igneous rock formed from the magma body will largely depend on whether or not it is erupted, and the speed of its cooling.
Is lava a sedimentary rock or igneous?
