An increase in the kinetic energy of the molecules that a materiel is formed from.
This can lead to a softening of the material or if enough energy is supplied the melting of the material.
It can also cause chemical reactions which may alter the material.
Both these processes occur in metamorphic rocks.

What increased as the ice age melted?
temperature
Can an adult have a temperature of 109 degrees and go home?
What are the results of an adult with a temperature of 109 degrees?
How has the climate changed over the last 100 years?
The temperature has increased.
During the 20th century earth's average surface temperature has?
Increased
How much as the temperature of the earth increased since the earth was formed?
Considering the Earth was Molten when it was formed, the temperature has actually decreased.
What results by increasing the temperature of a gas?
increased pressure and/or increased volume, depending on conditions that you did not provide in your question
What is a normal response of the integumentary system to an increase in body temperature?
Normal response to increased body temperature is sweating by sweating . It results in lowering of temperature .
What property will decrease if temperature increases?
Density will usually decrease in this case.
What stimulates vaso dilation?
Vasodilation is a mechanism for thermoregulation . It is used for cooling down body temperature . Increased body temperature stimulates vasodilation .It results in increased blood flow to skin to aid heat dissipation .
What is the difference between heat gain and heat loss?
These are exact opposities - heat gain is an increase in energy that results in an increased temperature of the material. Heat loss is a loss in energy that results in a decreased temperature of the material.
What happens to the kinetic energy of molecular motion in water when its temperature is increased?
When the water is heated, its molecules get additional kinetic energy due to it. This results in their increased velocity. As their kinetic energy gets increased, they try to overcome the force of attraction between themselves and eventually water changes into water vapour.
How density is impacted by the temperature of the heat energy of the material?
An increase in temperature causes thermal expansion which increases the volume. This cause a decrease in density. Except in the case of water between 0 and 4 degrees C, where increased temperature results in a contraction and so increased density.
A malnourished person usually dies from what condition?
Death usually results from heart failure, electrolyte imbalance, or low body temperature.
What results from increased levels of aldosterone?
Increased Na+ reabsorption
What to do if you have abnormal results for magnesium?
Increased blood levels of magnesium are sometime due to dietary sources. But are usually the result of an excretion problem or excessive supplementation. Increased levels are seen in Kidney failure.
Will ice cream melt if the temperature is increased or decreased?
increased
What happens to temperature if pressure goes down and volume stays the same?
Yes. Since pressure and volume are inversely related, volume decreases when pressure increases (as long as temperature is constant). Consider the equation: PV=nRT, where n = moles, T is in degrees Kelvin, and R is the gas constant 0.082. Do the algebra and see how: P=nRT/V and the inverses become more easily understood.
