What is wrong in this sentence rock melts at calderas and then is forced towards the crust as magma?
Rock does not melt in calderas. It melts in the upper mantle.
What is an area where magma melts through the crust in the middle of a plate?
A hot spot is a place where material from the magma melts through the crust in a non plate boundary location.
What are the largest volcanic structures on earth?
Calderas are very large volcanic craters. They are created when a volcano melts the land that it was formed around.
How does earths crust get recycled?
The crust is recycled by subduction which is.... a geological process in which one edge of a crustal plate is forced sideways and downward into the mantle below another plate
What happens when a oceanic and continental plate move towards each other?
It is called a destructive plate boundry...one type of crust is oceanic and the other is continental. when they meet the oceanic crust gets pushed down as it is heavier. the friction caused when it sinks creates huge earthquakes and the crust re-melts and gets forced upwards due to pressure to form a volcano.

Where does the oceanic crust eventually go?
It is subducted toward the core and eventually melts, forming magma.

What does oceanic crust make when it melts?
it creates a volcanoe

What part of the ocean spreads when old crust melts?
mid-ocean ridge
What happens when th ocean crust melts in the mantle?
it makes more magma.
