How does melting point change as the water content of rocks increases?

The presence of the water in its vapor phase causes the melting point to decrease and the rock to melt and absorb the vapor.


What will happen if you leave boiling water ice and tap water for a day in separate cups?

The boiling water will evaporate (turn to vapor). The ice will melt (turn to liquid) and then begin to evaporate (turn to vapor). The tap water will begin to evaporate (turn to vapor).


What happened to water vapor when earth formed and cooled?

The large amount of water would first increase the amount of magma, as it make it easier to melt rocks. Then the water vapor would help cause explosive eruptions.


What process occurs as pieces of ice sit in the sun?
