Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
What else can I help you with?
What rock gets hot enough to melt when it is forming?
Igneous rock such as granite and basalt can melt under high temperatures when forming. This molten rock, or magma, can then cool and solidify to form igneous rocks.
How does magma form ay divergent boundaries?
Hot mantle rock rises to fill rift zones. When rock rises, a decrease in pressure causes hot mantle rock to melt and form magma.
What three types of rocks can melt to form magma?
All types of rock can melt. Thus potentially ALL types of rocks can form a magma. Your question - asking for 3 types, is therefore meaningless.
How does adding fluids to hot rock cause magma to form?
The lithosphere primarily comprises of volcanic rocks and sediments that contain fluids and water. These fluids contact the rocks surrounding as the lithosphere moves into the mantle in the downward direction. The rock's melting temperature decreases when the fluid begins the enter the hot rock. This melts it to form magma.
What is wrong in this sentence rock melts at calderas and then is forced towards the crust as magma?
The sentence incorrectly implies that rock itself melts to form magma. In reality, the heat from the mantle causes the surrounding rock to melt and form magma which then rises towards the crust. Consider revising the sentence to accurately reflect this process.
How does the addition to fluid relate to the formation of magma?
When the fluids enter the already hot mantle rock, the melting temperature of the hot rock decreases. As a result, the rock begins to melt.
If a rock gets a hot enough it will?
it will melt
If the heat and pressure inside earth cause a rock to melt what material would be formed?
If heat and pressure inside the Earth cause a rock to melt, the resulting material would be magma. When magma cools and solidifies, it can form igneous rock. The composition of the magma depends on the original rock material and the conditions under which it melted.
Can lava melt rock in the mountain?
Underground molten rock, called magma, does melt some of the surrounding rock.
What rock families can form magma if hot enough?
All the three existing rock families/types/classes (ie, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) can form magma, if they become hot enough to melt and change to molten form.
How does a sedimentary rock becomes a ingeous rock?
A sedimentary rock can become an igneous rock through the process of melting and solidification. If sedimentary rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust or mantle, they can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify to form igneous rocks.
When rock melt what kind of rocks do they become?
lava also known as magma which is the more scientific form of the word
