Rocks Form By Crystallization And Consolidation Of Molten Magma. Web the minerals that make up igneous rocks crystallize at a range of different temperatures. If the magma in a magma chamber has a low viscosity—meaning it flows easily, which is likely if the magma is mafic—the crystals.

Magma is the term used to describe molten material within the earth; This lava lake sits in. This explains why a cooling magma can have some crystals within it and yet remain predominantly liquid. If the magma in a magma chamber has a low viscosity—meaning it flows easily, which is likely if the magma is mafic—the crystals. Web the minerals that make up igneous rocks crystallize at a range of different temperatures. Web igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust. Web a magma chamber is a space within the earth that’s filled with molten rock. On the rare occasions when magma breaks the surface, as in a volcanic eruption, it is called lava. But the molten rock usually contains some suspended crystals or dissolved gases.
