Yes. Rock can be liquified by raising its temperature to that of the melting point of the mineral constituent with the highest melting point.

Which gas is most difficult to liquefy?
Helium
Why doesn't the rock at the center of the earth liquefy when it is at a high temperatue?
The centre of the Earth (the inner core) is actually composed of iron and nickel rather than rock. It is solid because the very high pressure drives up the melting temperature of these metals beyond the temperature at the core.
Can crystallines liquefy under pressure?
Crystallines can liquefy under pressure if it is sufficiently high. Generally the opposite happens where they become more dense and compressed as the pressure increases.
Is it true that above the temperature no amount of pressure will casue a gas to liquefy?
The critical temperature of a gas is the temperature at or above which no amount of pressure, however great, will cause the gas to liquefy.
What is another for melt?
Other words for melt are thaw, defrost, liquefy, and dissolve.
Why doesnt the rock in the center of the earth liquefy?
The inner core of the Earth, which is composed of metal rather than rock, does remains solid because it is under immense pressure.
How can you liquefy a gas?
All forms of gas will liquefy at a sufficiently low temperature.
Can you liquefy a gas?
All forms of gas will liquefy at a sufficiently low temperature.
How do you use the word Liquefy in a sentence?
You can liquefy metal by heating it to a high enough temperature.
Why doesn't the rock in the center of the earth liquefy?
The center of Earth is not rock but metal. While that metal is well above its normal melting point it is kept solid by the enormous pressure found inside Earth.
What is the suffix in liquefy?
The suffix in "liquefy" is "-fy," which means "to make" or "to cause to become."
How do we liquefy gases?
Maybe
What is the root word for liquefy?
The root word for "liquefy" is "lique-" which comes from the Latin word "liquere" meaning "to be liquid."
Which gas is most difficult to liquefy?
Helium
Is a decongestant the purpose to liquefy mucus?
Yes
What are soils that are prone to liquefy?
sandy soils
What do you have to do to a gas to get a liquid?
Cool the gas sufficiently and it will liquefy.
