The two different names for temperature, Celsius and Fahrenheit, are based on different historical scales developed by different scientists. Celsius, also known as centigrade, is more commonly used internationally and is based on the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) of water. Fahrenheit is used primarily in the United States and is based on a scale where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F.

Which two factors affect the temperature that rocks melt at?
The two main factors that affect the temperature at which rocks melt are the composition of the rock and the pressure acting on it. Different minerals have different melting points, so the composition of the rock will determine its melting temperature. Additionally, pressure can increase or decrease the melting temperature of rocks, with higher pressure generally increasing melting temperature and lower pressure decreasing it.
