In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the region known as the mantle. This layer lies beneath the Earth's crust and is composed of solid rock, but under high temperatures and pressure, some rocks can melt and form magma.
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the lower part of the Earth's mantle, known as the asthenosphere. This is where the temperature and pressure conditions allow for rocks to melt and form magma.
