Is magma a liquid gas or solid?
Magma is mineral material that is in liquid form due to it's high temperature, and usually contains bubbles of gas. When it cools (below about 1400 degrees F) it becomes a solid.
What does felsic magma make after its solid?
It will form granite if it cools underground and rhyolite if it cools at the surface.
When magma reaches the exterior of the Earths crust it becomes?
It becomes volcanic Lava. It will then travel down in a river of Lava until it cools down enough so that all of the movement stops. It will them become volcanic rock, that is a solid.
What is the solid magma core of a volcano called?
Magma is underground, when it reaches the surface it becomes lava. So solidified magma is really lava. The lava flow is the liquid lava as it goes down the mountain, when hard its just hardened lava.

What happens when magma cools?
When magma cools down it forms a type of rock called igneous rock. Igneous rock can cool inside the earth or it can cool after it has come out on the earth's surface. When it is formed inside it is called intrusive but when it is on the earth's surface it is called extrusive.
When and how does magma form solid rock?
It cools and becomes solid
How are igneours rock formed?
Igneous rock forms when magma cools and becomes solid.
How do rocks solidify from molten magma?
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.

Are minerals formed from magma?
Minerals are formed from magma when the lava cools and hardens to produce a solid
How does lava dry?
Magma does not dry. Drying implies that the magma becomes solid by loss of water. In reality it becomes solid due to a drop in temperature. So, in reality it freezes. When magma solidifies it becomes intrusive igneous rock.
What is solid form of magma body?
When magma solidifies, it becomes igneous rock.
Rocks are formed when magma does what?
Rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks). As the molten magma cools, it crystallizes and hardens into solid rocks like granite or basalt.
When magma reaches the exterior of the Earths crust it becomes?
It becomes volcanic Lava. It will then travel down in a river of Lava until it cools down enough so that all of the movement stops. It will them become volcanic rock, that is a solid.
How does magma rock form?
When the magma cools it hardens, turning from sort of a liquid into a solid. Just like if you melted cheese it would eventually harden back to its regular solid state.
What happens to magma after it erupts onto the ocean floor?
The magma spills over the ridge and pushes the old sea floor away toward a subduction zone where the old sea floor melts.
