How does adding fluids to hot rock cause magma to form?
The lithosphere primarily comprises of volcanic rocks and sediments that contain fluids and water. These fluids contact the rocks surrounding as the lithosphere moves into the mantle in the downward direction. The rock's melting temperature decreases when the fluid begins the enter the hot rock. This melts it to form magma.
Rock formed by changes in heat and pressure or the presence of hot or watery fluids?
Metamorphic rock
Give one reason that a very hot rock might not melt?
When fluids are added to rocks that are already very hot, the rocks can melt. But, the rock might not melt if it doesn't have any fluid in it.
What is a hot liquid called?
its pretty much selfexplanitory, its fluids (liquids and or gases) that are hot.
What is in a under water volcano?
Usually basaltic magma and hot hydrothermal fluids.

What are hot fluids that can move through small cracks in rock?
They are referred to as hydrothermal fluids.

Metamorphic rock
When hot fluids migrate into and out of a rock during metamorphism what will change?
grade
What changes when hot fluids migrating into and out of a rock during metamorphism?
grade
How does the addition to fluid relate to the formation of magma?
When the fluids enter the already hot mantle rock, the melting temperature of the hot rock decreases. As a result, the rock begins to melt.

What takes place when changes in pressure temperature or chemical makeup alters a rock?
It becomes a metamorphic rock, altered by heat, pressure, or hot fluids.
What takes place when changes in pressure temperature. or chemical make-up alter rock?
It becomes a metamorphic rock, altered by heat, pressure, or hot fluids.
When changes in pressure temperature or chemical make up alter a rock what takes place?
It becomes a metamorphic rock, altered by heat, pressure, or hot fluids.
What takes place when changes in pressure temperature or chemical-make up alter a rock?
