What temperature will melt rock?

Answer 1

"Melting" is a change of state from solid to liquid and not strictly something that can be done by the addition of chemicals. The only way you're going to melt a rock is to add heat.

Or you could dissolve the rock using chemicals. But this means the rock is now part of a solution of other chemicals...getting a rock back out of that is going to be nigh-impossible.

But for such things, we can look around us. Acid erosion dissolves rocks every day, and that's just acid rain...which is a generic acid aqueous solution name.

So...get yourself some concentrated acid. H2SO4 would probably make a good job of it.

Answer 2

The mantle of the Earth is a dandy place to melt rocks, but getting there is a bit of a slog. Volcanoes produce a lot of melted rock. Some minerals can be easily melted, like ice, or galena, which only requires a blow torch. Synthetic gems can be grown from melts, but this takes serious equipment, with high pressure and heat.

Answer 3

The temperature at which rock melts varies depending on the type of rock, with most rocks melting at temperatures between 600°C to 1400°C. However, some rocks, like granite, may require temperatures reaching 1200-1300°C to melt completely.

Answer 4

There are three ways to melt rock to form lavas. You can use decompression, add volatiles, or conduction. All you need to do is use these strategies to get the rock to its melting point.

Answer 5

it turn into lava/magma and slowly when it cools down igneous rocks are formed

Answer 6

if you are in a hurry you could heat it up but if you are in no rush then you can just let it melt

Answer 7

1. Pressure 2. Heat 3. Melting Heat

Answer 8

Temperature of magma.
