  • Igneous Rock Formation: How Crystallization from Magma Works
    Crystallization from cooling magma describes one way that igneous rocks are formed.

    Here's why:

    * Magma: Molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface.

    * Cooling: As magma rises towards the surface or intrudes into cooler rock, it starts to cool down.

    * Crystallization: As the magma cools, the atoms within it slow down and begin to bond together, forming solid crystals.

    * Igneous Rocks: Rocks formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava (magma that has erupted onto the Earth's surface).

    So, the process of crystallization from cooling magma is a fundamental part of how igneous rocks are formed.
