It is harder to raise the temperature of water than it is to raise the temperature of a rock.
It takes 1 calorie of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C,
whereas it only takes 0.02 calorie to heat a gram of rock to that temperature.

How does decreasing the pressure of the rock affect the temperature at which it melts?
Decreasing the pressure on rock will allow rock to melt at lower temperature. High pressures will raise the melting point of rock.
Is coal sedimentary?
Coal is a sedimentary rock. However, harder forms of coal, because of exposure to elevated temperature and pressure, are metamorphic rock.
When a rock is placed in a graducated cylinder containing water the height of the water will?
The height of the water will rise a level equal to the volume of the rock.
How does water affect the melting temperature of rock at a convergent boundry?
Water reduces the melting point of rock.
WHAT IS THE temperature of water inside earth?
The same temperature as the rock in which it sits (the aquifer).

Where a river flows from an area of harder rock to an area of softer rock the softer rock may wear away eventually forming a drop?
Water fall
