A single magma with a unique chemical composition can form different types of igneous rock depending upon which type of magma it is.

Each type of eruption of the same magma will produce different types of rock.

What is a geology map?

A geology map is a map that, rather than showing the cities, roads and rivers in an area, shows the types of rocks that make up the area. There are different types of geology maps: a surficial geology map shows the rock types and soil types found right at the surface. A bedrock geology map shows the type of rocks that make up the solid rock underneath the soils and dirt at the surface.
