It is not magma....

anonymous · Answer

It is definately not magma, it is called that when molten rock is inside of the vulcano.

Basalt and granite are the most abundant rocks formed when lava solidifies. basalt is formed in ocean vulcanos and granite is formed in surface vulcanos. 

So I would say granite.
