What else can I help you with?
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.
What type of change is gold when it gets hot enough to melt?
If gold gets hot enough, it will melt. What type of change is this?
What portion of the mantle is hot enough to begin melting rocks into magma?
asthenosphere
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.
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.
Where should rocks be to change their shape?
somewhere very hot (ex. a volcano) or the ocean
How are most volcanic mountains formed in California?
when rocks become hot enough, and pressure and other condition are right they can melt.

What earth material is hot enough to change the shape and composition of rock?
magma
Are volcanic rocks hot?
Volcanic rocks are hot if they are freshly erupted. Otherwise, no.
Is lava hot enough to burn through rocks?
Lava is molten rock and could melt through thin layers of rock if given enough time before cooling.
What rock is formed when sandstone is exposed to heat and pressure?
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
