Igneous rocks are formed by cooling 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.
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.
No, igneous rocks cannot change directly into magma. In order for igneous rocks to melt into magma, they need to be exposed to high temperatures and pressures beneath the Earth's surface, typically in the mantle or tectonic plate boundaries. Once melted, the magma can then cool and solidify to form new igneous rocks.
Because that is the very definition of igneous rock.
Intrusive igneous rocks are thusly formed.

Magma is molten rock, and igneous rock is cooled magma.
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (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.
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.

Magma
Igneous rocks are formed underground from a very hot substance called magma. As magma cools and hardens under extreme pressure, it forms igneous rocks.
No, igneous rocks cannot change directly into magma. In order for igneous rocks to melt into magma, they need to be exposed to high temperatures and pressures beneath the Earth's surface, typically in the mantle or tectonic plate boundaries. Once melted, the magma can then cool and solidify to form new igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks form as a result of cooling magma. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms rocks such as granite, basalt, and obsidian. The size of the mineral crystals in the rock is determined by the rate of cooling.
Because that is the very definition of igneous rock.
