Rock can melt at a depth of about below Earth's surface.?
Rock can melt from 600- 1200C, depending on the type of rock, but this is assuming 1atm pressure. Under the earth, there are higher pressures, increasing the melting point. So although the rock should have melted by the mantle, which is 500-4000C and at a depth 35-2900km below the surface, it is a silly putty-like plastic solid rather than a liquid. The earth only becomes liquid at a depth of 2900km in the earth's outer core, but that is made of metal, not rock, so essentially, none of it.
The Molten rock below the earth's surface are?
molten rock below the surface is called magma
Are the diamonds formed the same way as igneous rocks?
No. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Diamond is a mineral which is formed at great depth below the surface, from intense pressure and heat.
Is lava inside or outside a volcano?
Lava is molten rock above the Earth's surface. Magma is molten rock below the Earth's surface.
When the rock above the fault surface moves down relative to the Rock below the fault surface what kind of fault?
This is described as a normal fault.
What rock can melt at a depth of about below earths surface?
50km
Rock can melt at a depth of about what degree below Earth's surface?
100km

Which type of rock can form below Earth's surface or below Earth's surface?
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
The Molten rock below the earth's surface are?
molten rock below the surface is called magma
Is a sedimentary rock formed below earth's surface as magma?
No. A rock formed below earth's surface as magma is an igneous rock.
Which of these processes would not produce liquid rock below the surface?
Decreasing the pressure will not produce liquid rock below the surface.
Which type of rock can form deep below Earth's surface or above Earth's surface?
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
What rock is formed below Earth's surface?
it is an intrusive rock
What is molten material below the surface of earth called?
Molten rock material below the earth's surface is called magma.lava
What igneous rock formed from magma below earth's surface is called?
Igneous rock formed from cooling magma below the surface is called intrusive igneous rock.
What is the melted rock below earth's surface?
Melted rock below the eaths suface is magma
