The formation of igneous rocks due to the hardening of magma​ is as follows:

  • In essence, the formation of igneous rocks is done when the magma (or lava) gets cooled and becomes solid.
  • Due to the intense heat, the development of magma is done in the lower crust or upper mantle.
  • When it is hot, it rises to the surface and also passes through some changes due to temperature and pressure.
  • This makes it cool, solid and crystal.
