Why are felsic rocks melted by mafic magmas but mafic rocks are not melted by felsic magmas?
Felsic rocks have a lower melting point than mafic rocks and felsic magma has a lower temperature. In other words, felsic magma is not hot enough to melt mafic rock while mafic magma is hot enough to melt felsic rock.
What happens to rock when Earths temperature increases?
Ka boom!
How does temperature effect magma?
yes it does ((: temperature composition and the amount of dissolved gases
Does ice melt faster in a room temperature glass or in a frozen glass?
ice melt in the room temperature
Give one reason that a very hot rock might not melt?
When fluids are added to rocks that are already very hot, the rocks can melt. But, the rock might not melt if it doesn't have any fluid in it.
Why don't rocks in earth's lower crust upper crust and mantle melt?
The rocks don't melt because they are under tremendous pressure. High pressure raises the temperature needed to melt something.
Rocks can melt without changing temperature when the pressure exerted on them is .?
Increase
What depth below earths surface do you have to go before the pressure and temperature cause rocks to melt?
At depths of 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface rocks will melt.
Which two factors affect the temperature that rocks melt at?
The two main factors that affect the temperature at which rocks melt are the composition of the rock and the pressure acting on it. Different minerals have different melting points, so the composition of the rock will determine its melting temperature. Additionally, pressure can increase or decrease the melting temperature of rocks, with higher pressure generally increasing melting temperature and lower pressure decreasing it.
What conditions are necessary to turn igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
Great pressure and heat, but short of the temperature that would completely melt the rock.
Could heat melt rocks?
Yes heat could melt rocks
What happen to the crust when the molten rocks move upward?
The crust melt's because the molten rock's are at a really high temperature.
What event found at a transform boundary will help form igneous rocks?
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks change after undergoing extreme pressure or temperature increase. These temperature changes must be hot enough to reorganize matter within the rock but not hot enough to melt it.
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
What determines a rock's melting point?
A rocks melting point would be determined by the highest temperature at which its constituent minerals would melt.
Why are felsic rocks melted by mafic magmas but mafic rocks are not melted by felsic magmas?
Felsic rocks have a lower melting point than mafic rocks and felsic magma has a lower temperature. In other words, felsic magma is not hot enough to melt mafic rock while mafic magma is hot enough to melt felsic rock.
Can leaves melt into rocks?
no
