How is partial melting the opposite of fractional crystallization?

They're the same point, but reached from opposite directions. ie, partial melting is where a solid has partially melted into a liquid, while fractional crystallisation is where a liquid has only partially become a solid.

solubility. If you let the water of the solution evaporate slowly, the
salts concentration will beguine to increase 'till the salt with the lower
solubility will start to crystallize. The second salt won't start to do the
same until the first salt is out of solution. This is called fractional crystallization.
Now, if you have a solidified solution of different substances, when cooled
slowly the substance with the highest melting temperature will be the
first to start melting, and the one with the lowest melting temperature
will be the last.
The two processes are the opposite of each other in direction.

How could you separate a solution?
if it is a mixture of oil water and sand first take the cotton balls and dip them into the water then squeeze them out in to another container till you can see little to none floating around in the water then boil the water till theres only the sand left or pour the water throe a strainer.
What is the definition of partial charge?
Partial charge are charge that are smaller than the charge of the electron.And, they are produced by distribution of electrons in chemical bonds.
What is positively and negatively charged in a water molecule?
it says oxygen acts negativw so most likely hydrogen on the bottom acts positive
What is the relationship of the partial pressure of a gas and its diffusion rate?
The higher the pressure, the more easily a chemical diffuses. And seeing as pressure and temperature are directly related, the higher the temperature the more easily a chemical diffuses, and vice versa. This is caused by everything "wanting" to be equal, if there is a higher pressure, then it will diffuse to an area of lower pressure.
What does Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures say?
The total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the individual pressures.
What is thought to form by partial melting and in situ crystallization of the melted portion?
migmatite
How is partial melting related to fractional crystallization?
Partial melting occurs in rocks because the different minerals that compose rocks have different melting points. For example, felsic minerals (e.g. quartz and feldspar) melt at around 700 degrees Celsius while mafic minerals (e.g. pyroxene and olivine) melt at around 1200 degrees Celsius. Therefore, felsic minerals will melt first leaving the mafic minerals solid.Fractional crystallization occurs when minerals from a magma cool and crystallize out of the magma. The first crystals to melt in partial melting will be the first minerals to crystallize out when the magma begins to cool. Therefore, mafic minerals will crystallize first, followed by felsic minerals.Both partial melting and fractional crystallisation tend to produce a more felsic magma than their source rocks.The difference is simply that they are the reverse of one another, heat it up, cool it down. Things that melt first solidify last and separate from one another.
What physical properties could be used to separate two different substances?
Boiling point is a physical property. Alcohol and water can be separated by distillation because they have different boiling points. Alcohol boils at a lower temperature water. In distillation, the vapor is collected and condensed back into a liquid. The condensed liquid will have a higher proportion of alcohol to water than the original mixture.Fractional freezing is a process used in proses engineering and chemistry to separate substances with different melting points. It can be done by partial melting of a solid, for example in zone refining of silicon or metals, or by partial crystallization of a liquid, for example "freeze distillation", also called "normal freezing" or "progressive freezing".Partial crystallization can also be achieved by adding a dilute solvent to the mixture, and cooling and concentrating the mixture by evaporating the solvent, a process called "solution crystallization".[1] Fractional freezing is generally used to produce ultra-pure solids, or to concentrate heat-sensitive liquids.
Can Small amounts of water can lower partial melting temperatures in silicate rocks?
The addition of water can lower partial melting temperatures in silicate rocks.

What is the opposite word for partial?
The antonyms for the word partial are complete, entire, whole, or total.
Would pressure play a role in partial melting?
In so far as pressure affects the melting point of substances, the answer is yes.
What is the opposite of the word plan?
A partial opposite of "planning" (preparation) could be impulse, spontaneity, or whim. A partial opposite of "planning" used for "as the result of planning" could be fortuitousness, unexpectedness, coincidence, happenstance, or fluke.
