Extruded magma (lava) can cool on the surface, or under water. Magma also cools underground, forming intrusive igneous rocks such as granite.
Yes, cool magma tends to sink due to its higher density compared to warmer magma, which rises due to its lower density. This movement leads to convection currents in the magma chambers beneath the Earth's surface.
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
Because there are different types of magma and different pathways for that magma to cool.
Magma can solidify and cool to form igneous rocks such as granite, basalt, or andesite, depending on the composition and cooling rate of the magma.
Yes.

The composition of the magma effects the temperature it will cool and solidify at. In general most magma solidify at about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
Magma needs to cool and solidify to form a rock. This process can happen underground, resulting in intrusive rocks, or at the surface, leading to extrusive rocks. The rate of cooling and the mineral composition of the magma will determine the type of rock that forms.
Because there are different types of magma and different pathways for that magma to cool.
When it becomes too cool, and then it will solidify.
Magma cools because it losses heat to its surrounding environment, either due to convection or contact process.
