* Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. It forms from the melting of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.

* Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. They are the *result* of magma, not the source.

So, the relationship is reversed:

1. Magma (molten rock) cools and solidifies to become igneous rock.

To get back to magma, you'd need to melt the igneous rock again. This can happen through various geological processes like:

* Subduction: When tectonic plates collide, one can slide beneath the other (subduction). The descending plate experiences increased heat and pressure, potentially melting the rocks and creating magma.

* Hot spots: These are areas in the Earth's mantle where unusually hot plumes of magma rise towards the surface, melting surrounding rock.

* Decompression melting: As rocks rise towards the surface, the pressure decreases, which can lead to melting, especially if the rocks are already hot.
