Just about everything melts or combusts at high enough temperature.

If clay is fired at the correct temperature for the type clay then it's called maturing the clay. It's like baking a cake. It's not batter anymore and it can't be made back into batter. Properly fired clay won't break down into mud again. The chemical nature is changed.

The particles of clay melt enough to bond them together then the pot is usually glazed and fired to an even higher temperature to melt the glass like glaze and bond it to the surface of the clay pot. Exact temperature is very important. Too little and you get an ugly pot with glaze that cracks off and too high and it can be a melted, warped mess.

Why metamorphic rock will form neither synthetically nor naturally if the temperature is too high?

If the temperature is too high, the rock will melt into magma and form igneous rock instead of metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks form under high pressure and temperature conditions, but if the temperature becomes too high, the rock will not be able to maintain its solid state and will melt.


Why don't rocks in earth's lower crust upper crust and mantle melt?

The rocks don't melt because they are under tremendous pressure. High pressure raises the temperature needed to melt something.

What can melt rocks without changing temperature when their confining pressure?

The process of partial melting can occur in rocks under high confining pressure, where the minerals in the rock start to melt without the overall temperature changing. This happens because the pressure lowers the melting point of the minerals. The supercritical fluids in Earth's mantle can also cause rocks to melt without a change in temperature under the high pressure conditions.


Does elmers glue melt under heat?

Yes, Elmer's glue will melt under high heat. The melting point of Elmer's glue is around 150°F (65°C). Exposing it to heat above this temperature will cause it to soften and eventually melt.
