It can't. You can increase the melting point of a particular rock by placing it under a great deal of pressure however.

What becomes a solid above the melting point?

The melting point is the temperature which a material, element or mixture, changes from the solid to a liquid. Therefore, all liquids become solids above the melting point.


How can you determine if a substances is a solid at room temperature?

Check the melting point of the substance. If the melting point is below room temperature, then the substance is liquid and if the melting point is above room temperature then it is solid.


Is sulfur solid liquid or a gas?

a solid.....


How can you use boiling points and melting points to determine a solid liquid or gas that an element would be in at a certain temperature?

If the temperature is below the melting point then the element is a solid.If the temperature is above the melting point but below the boiling point, then the element is a liquid.If the temperature is above the boiling point, then the element is a gas.


Melting point of solid?

The temperature at which a solid melts is called?

The temperature at which a solid melts is called the melting point. At this temperature, the solid transitions into a liquid state.


At what temperature does solid turn to liquid?

Generally speaking, solid turns to a liquid at its melting point. Ice turns to water at 0 degrees Celsius Chocolate melts at 25 degrees Celsius- Yum! Ice (solid) thaws when the temperature rises above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, becoming water (liquid). Other solids (oddly) vary.


How many phases of matter are present at the melting temperature of water?

At the melting temperature of water, there are two phases of matter present: solid and liquid. As the temperature rises above the melting point (0 degrees Celsius), the solid ice melts into liquid water.


The temperature in which a solid melts is called its?

The temperature at which a solid melts is called its melting point.


Why is a pencil a solid at room temperature?

The "lead" in the pencil is a form of carbon called graphite. Graphite has a melting temperature of about 6606 degrees F. So, unless you can heat the graphite to that temperature, it will remain as a solid.


Do solids have a low melting point?

Some do while others do not. To be solid a substance must merely have a melting point that is above room temperature. Gallium has a melting point just above room temperature, so it is normally solid but it will melt in the palm of your hand. By contrast Tungsten has such a high melting point that not even the hottest lava from Earth's volcanoes can come close to melting it.


Why is the earth's inner core in a solid state when it's temperature is above the melting point of material that makes it up?

The inner core of the Earth is solid due to the immense pressure from the layers above it. This pressure prevents the materials from melting even though the temperature is above the melting point. The combination of high pressure and high temperature keeps the inner core in a solid state.
