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.
