How is magma and igneous rocks related?

Magma is molten rock, and igneous rock is cooled magma.


Where would igneous rocks be at?

Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)


Which rock type forms from the solidification of 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.


How do igneous rocks form?

Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.


What class or rocks are made from lava or magma?

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.

How igneous rocks formed underground?

Igneous rocks are formed underground from a very hot substance called magma. As magma cools and hardens under extreme pressure, it forms igneous rocks.


Can igneous rocks change directly into magma?

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.


Rocks that form as a result of cooling magma?

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.


Why don't igneous rocks look like magma rocks if igneous rock is formed from magma?

Because that is the very definition of igneous rock.
