What is the name of semi-molten rock?
we can call it an igneous rock because it coming from partial melting of preexisting rocks
At what depth does granitic magma form?
Granitic magma forms at relatively shallow depths, typically between 1 and 10 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. This type of magma is formed through the partial melting of continental crust, which is composed mainly of granitic rocks.
Which igneous rocks exhibit aphanitic texure?
Normally, extrusive igneous rocks exhibit an aphanitic texture. Examples would be basalt and rhyolite.
How does igneous rock becomes metamorphic?
Igneous rocks, such as granite, when subjected to extreme pressure and temperature will change to metamorphic rock. Evidence that an igneous rock had undergone metamorphism would include light and dark mineral banding; possibly with indications of partial melting in highly metamorphosed samples.
Can metamorphic rocks be created by melting?
Nope, because they are created when the Earth pressurizes and heats it (but not to the point of melting). Igneous rocks are created when rocks melt.
Can Small amounts of water can lower partial melting temperatures in silicate rocks?
The addition of water can lower partial melting temperatures in silicate rocks.
Basalt is generated by?
partial melting of mantle rocks
What is the evidence that inner planets have experienced melting?
I have a study guide that gave this answer: All inner planets exhibit an iron-nickel core surrounded by silicate rocks.
How does metamorphic rock formation compare to igneous rock formation?
Igneous rocks are formed in and around volcanos, metamorphic rocks are formed by the partial melting of rocks deep underground.
What does most Most magma form from?
Magma is the result of partial melting of crustal rocks. It is a eutectic melt product.

Can Small amounts of water lower partial melting temperatures in silicate rocks?
Yes, Read A Book next time

What is a metaphoric rock?
A METAMORPHIC rock is formed from other rocks that have undergone heat and pressure and partial but NOT entire melting. That is why a metamorphic rock could have layers that are distorted.
At what depth does granitic magma form?
Granitic magma forms at relatively shallow depths, typically between 1 and 10 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. This type of magma is formed through the partial melting of continental crust, which is composed mainly of granitic rocks.
Rocks that contain crystals exhibit what texture?
