What forms after volcano eruption and after magma cools? Igneous rock forms when superheated volcanic liquid‚ also called magma‚ cools and thus hardens through a process of crystallization in one of two manners: by cooling and crystallization on the Earth’s surface such as after a volcanic eruption; or by cooling more gradually through a process of rising as it cools through the magma while still below the Earth’s surface. Scientists further classify such rocks based on their mineral characteristics:
