The melting process in Earth's interior occurs primarily in the mantle and is driven by high temperatures and pressures. As tectonic plates move, they can cause localized melting through processes such as decompression melting, where a drop in pressure allows mantle rocks to melt, and flux melting, where the addition of water and other volatiles lowers the melting point of rocks. This melting produces magma, which can rise towards the surface, potentially leading to volcanic activity. Additionally, heat from radioactive decay and residual heat from Earth's formation contributes to maintaining the high temperatures necessary for melting.
What else can I help you with?
Why might an earthquake's primary wave but not it's secondary wave reach a location on the other side of the world from the epicenter?
Only primary waves travel thought the earths interior because S waves cannot travel through the liquid portion of Earths interior and P waves can. Whoever you are, you were just schooled by an eighth grader =)
Where in the interior of earth do geologists believe that the earths magnetism is influenced?
Convection of liquid metals in the outer core creates the Earth's magnetic field.
What do you do to purify a metal?
You have to get it hot enough where you get to the melting point of the metal. During this melting process the impurities will be removed from the metal and your end result is a purer metal.
What is the name of the proccess when a solid becomes a liquid?
The process is named "fusion" or "melting".
What can be used to map the deep interior of the earth?
The deep interior of the Earth can be mapped using seismic waves. Natural earthquakes produce seismic signals which penetrate the Earth. Timing the arrival of these waves at various sites round the world, gives indication of the shape and the wave velocity in the Earths interior. Rather similar to the way a CAT scan can reveal the interior of a person.
Is earths interior hot or cold?
The earths interior is cold
In earths interior which zone has temperature higher than its melting point?
outer core; Earth Science Reference Tables page 10
What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
In the earths interior which zone has a temperature higher than its melting point?
The inner core of the Earth has a temperature higher than its melting point. Despite being made of solid iron and nickel, the immense pressure at the center of the Earth keeps it in a solid state even at temperatures above its melting point.
How does temperature of earths crust compare to the temperature of earths interior?
it depends on the deepth
Which is powered by engery from earths interior?
Volcanoes
Is powered by energy from the earths interior?
Volcanoes
What happens in earths interior to produce earths magnetic?
The movements in the liquid inner core.
What happens in earths interior produce earths magnetic field?
The movements in the liquid inner core.
Is a thin layer of the earths interior?
Rock cycle

No
Which scientist studies earths interior?
