Basically two ways.
Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma cools and solidifies beneath the surface of the earth. These rocks are also called plutonic rocks. They are characterized by a coarse grained texture. The slower the magma cools the larger the formed crystals will be, hence the coarse grain. Some magma begins to cool slowly underground and start to form large crystals. Then due to tectonic processes the partially solidified magma is transported to earth's surface where it cools quickly and forms small crystals. This is termed porphyritic texture.
Some intrusive igneous formations are laccolith, batholith, stock, sill, and dike.
Extrusive igneous rocks are formed on the surface of the earth. These rocks are formed as a result of a volcanic eruption. Most have a fine grained texture made of small crystals due to rapid cooling. However, some of the lava cools so quickly that no crystals have time to form. An example of this type of rock is obsidian, commonly called black glass or volcanic glass.

The basic processes involves in igneous rock formation are; 1. Melting (Magma, formation of molten substance). 2. Volcanicity (Eruption, movement of magma). 3. Cooling (Change in temperature). 4. Crystallization (Mineralization, formation of crystals and minerals). 5. Solidification (Consolidation into a solid mass to form igneous rock).
Heat and pressure are required to produce metamorphic rock from sedimentary or igneous rock.
it can mean two things, (1)mineralogical composition or (2)Chemical composition
The 3 types of rocks are: 1. Igneous. 2. Sedimentary. 3. Metamorphic. Normally in that order.
Your question as phrased is unclear. I will proceed to answer both interpretations I have of your question. Note: When magma crystallizes, it forms igneous rocks. 1) What is the change of state when magma forms from igneous rock? - Melting. Rocks are the solid state of matter and magma is the liquid state (although it can be a very viscous liquid). Changing something from solid to liquid is melting. 2) What is the change of state when magma crystallizes to form igneous rocks? - Solidification/Freezing. Magma becomes too cold to continue in a liquid state, it solidifies and crystallizes into solid igneous rocks: freezing.
Felsic and Mafic are two very broad classifications for igneous rocks. This is based on their composition. Felsic rocks are rich in silicon and aluminum (e.g. granite) while Mafic rocks have higher concentrations of magnesium and iron (e.g. basalt).
Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten rock material. There are two basic types: 1) intrusive igneous rocks such as diorite, gabbro, granite and pegmatite that solidify below Earth's surface; and 2) extrusive igneous rocks such as andesite, basalt, obsidian, pumice, rhyolite and scoria that solidify on or above Earth's surface. Pictures and brief descriptions of some common igneous rock types are shown on this page.
.The oldest rock known today is the Igneous rock. .Igneous rock can be any colour..The word "Igneous" is a Greek word that means fire. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of molten rock, lava or magma. When magma solidifies in the earth they are intrusive, when lava cools outside the earth it is extrusive.
Igneous rocks are formed through volcanic activity, where molten rock (magma) cools and solidifies either on the Earth's surface (extrusive igneous rock) or beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rock). These cooling processes result in the formation of crystals within the rock, determining its texture and composition.
Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.

Igneous Rock molten rock igneous rock is when it cools.
If other layers of rock, dirt, dust, and sand are put on top of the igneous rock and the layers are compressed by their own weight, they become a single, unified layer of sedimentary rock. Simple Version: 1. Igneous rock 2. More rocks are put on the igneous rock. 3. The rock on top push down and squeeze the all of the layers into one layer.
Heat and pressure are required to produce metamorphic rock from sedimentary or igneous rock.
If the magma cools on the surface of the crust, it is called extrusive igneous rock, such as pumice, basalt or rhyolite. If the magma cools inside the crust, it is called intrusive igneous rock, such as granite.
