What else can I help you with?
Could heat melt rocks?
Yes heat could melt rocks
What forms when rocks or minerals partially or completely melt?
Lava and magma are two forms of melted rocks
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
Can leaves melt into rocks?
no
Where would igneous rocks be at?
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
Can you melt metamorphic rocks?
no, the process only happens to igneous rocks
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the lower part of the Earth's mantle, known as the asthenosphere. This is where the temperature and pressure conditions allow for rocks to melt and form magma.
What temperature dose Rock melt?
Rocks can melt at different temperatures depending on their composition. For example, most igneous rocks melt between 600°C and 1,300°C, while some metamorphic rocks can melt at temperatures above 700°C. Additionally, the presence of water and other minerals can influence the melting point of rocks.
How would you fuse two broken pieces of candle?
To fus etogether two broken piecs of candle you would melt some and press both ends to combine
Can heat cause some rocks to melt and change into new rocks?
Yes, heat can cause rocks to melt and form new rocks through the process of melting, cooling, and solidifying. This can lead to the formation of igneous rocks from both existing rocks and molten rock material.
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.
What causes the rocks in the mantle at divergent boundaries to melt?
Rocks in the mantle at divergent boundaries melt due to the decrease in pressure as tectonic plates move apart. This reduction in pressure lowers the melting point of the rocks, causing them to melt and form magma.
