Answer the question below, append new answers to the top of this page. _ __Response 1:__ __Nick J 8.3__ When magma cools it begins to form solid mineral phases, some of them settles at the bottom of the magma chamber forming cumulates that might form magic layered intrusions. Magma that cools slowly within a magma chamber usually ends up as forming bodies of plutonic rocks such as gabbro, diorite and granite depending on the composition of the magma, while if the magma is erupted it forms volcanic such as basalt andesite and rhyolite.
