Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower than a melting point rock?

Metamorphic rocks form by rocks being changed while still in the solid state. If the temperature of a rock exceeds its melting point, it will melt and any rock that forms as a result will be considered igneous.

Is The melting temperature of an alloy is generally lower than its constiuants?
The melting temperature of an alloy is generally lower than the melting temperature of the highest melting temperature of all of its constituents. The eutectic melting temperature is the lowest melting temperature of an alloy system and is in fact sort of defined by that optimal set of percentages of those constituents. The next obvious question is whether there are calculation methods or approximations to determine the melting range of less than "eutectic" percentages.
What can you expect anytime temperature differences occur?
energy movement from higher temperature regions
Goes salt lower boiling temperature of water?
Salt will lower the melting point, and raise the boiling point of water.
What melts at a lower temperature copper or silver?
1,763°F melting point of silver 1,984°F melting point of copper the answer is silver
Relation between melting temperature and sintering temperature?
The idea of sintering is heating a powder until it is hot enough to stick to itself, then reshaping it and letting it set. The temperature used is always lower than the melting point of the material.
Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower then the melting point of rock?
If the rock melts the resulting rock type would be igneous rather than metamorphic.
Why would you expect a metamorphic form at a temperature lower than the melting point of a rock?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks

The temperature at which a substance freezes is lower than the temperature at which it melts?
Correct, the temperature at which a substance freezes is lower than the melting point.
What state is it if the temperature is lower than melting?
Solid state
Is the temperature of the outer core higher or lower then the melting point?
higher
What is lower fixed point?
upper fixed point is a temperature of stem from water boiling and standards atmospheric pressure lower fixed point is the temperature of pure melting ice.
Is the earth's crust melting point lower than it's actual temperature?
No. If the melting point was higher than its actual temperature then the crust would be molten.
Is the temperature of the inner core higher or lower than its melting pointing?
higher
Is the temperature of the inner core higher or lower than its melting point?
higher
Why do covalent bonds generally have lower melting temperatures but are stronger than ionic bonds?
because they are lower in temperature
Which is true of a melting point and a boiling point?
Melting point: at this temperature a solid become a liquid.Boiling point: at this temperature a liquid become a gas.
