They're the same.
latent heat of fusion - heat absorbed by a unit mass of a solid at its melting point in order to convert the solid into a liquid at the same temperature
latent heat of solidification - heat liberated by a unit mass of liquid at its freezing point when it solidifies

∙ 15y agoCrystallization refers to a melt which is subjected to a decrease in temperature or an increase in pressure which causes crystals to form (crystallization).
Melting is the opposite of crystallizing and is when crystals are subjected to an increase in temperature or a decrease in pressure which causes the crystals to melt.

Heat of crystallization is the amount of energy that must be released from a substance in order for it to solidify at its freezing point.

What is the difference between crystal and crystallization?
look in textbook
What are processes used in obtaining crystals?
The process is called crystallization. Methods are precipitation, melting, evaporation, deposition.
What is an allotriomorph?
In geology, an allotriomorph is a mineral which did not develop its otherwise typical external crystal form because of late crystallization between earlier formed crystals.
What is the difference between physical geology and geology?
geology is different about physical geology in case natural phenomenon like land side earth quackes and weathering

No basic Difference between melting point and Drop point.
