A natural hot melt composed of a solution of rock-forming materials, steam, and super-heated gases from which igneous rock results.
Igneous rock
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.
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.
Igneous rock
It cools and becomes solid
Liquid
When magma solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.

Minerals are formed from magma when the lava cools and hardens to produce a solid

it's lava but in it's liquid form. A common misconception between magma and lava is lava is solid and magma is liquid hot.
The same way any solid forms from a liquid - the liquid magma cools off and becomes solid. This usually happens when the magma comes to the cooler surface of the earth as lava, but it can occur very slowly inside of the earth as the magma gradually cools.
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.
magma can be generated from solid rock by three things:1. decress in PRESSURE2. increase in TEMPATURE3. addition of VOLATILES
