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.
Metamorphic rock
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.
its pretty much selfexplanitory, its fluids (liquids and or gases) that are hot.
Its weathers and disintegrates dividing, separating and splitting up into smaller particles like a big hamburger or a hot dog with watermelon.

They are referred to as hydrothermal fluids.
Nothing, possibly. Metamorphism of sedimentary rock may be dependent on depth of burial, directed pressure, or exposure to high temperatures or hot fluids.

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.
