What happens to atoms when rocks melt?

The atoms in the rock begin joined together as molecules, when heated these individual molecules become less tightly bonded together and hence, flow as a liquid. Depending on the type of rock these molecules may reform into a different crystalline structure than they started (as happens when limestone turns to marble). As for the individual atoms, the only thing that happens to them is their electrons speed up and jump up energy levels, just like any other heated atom.


What happens if you put a igneous rock in water?

When you put an igneous rock in water, the rock will not dissolve or change quickly. Some igneous rocks may absorb water and become slightly heavier or disintegrate over time due to weathering and erosion processes. Overall, igneous rocks are not significantly affected by water in the short term.


What happens when water enters a crack of a rock and freezes in it?

When water enters a crack in a rock and freezes, it expands as it turns into ice. The force of the ice expanding can exert stress on the surrounding rock, causing the crack to widen or the rock to break apart. Over time, repeated cycles of freezing and thawing can lead to the disintegration of the rock.


What will happen when a piece of rock is heated for 10 15 minutes and then cold water is poured on it?

Oh, dude, when you heat a rock for 10-15 minutes and then pour cold water on it, you're in for a wild ride! The sudden temperature change can cause the rock to crack or even shatter due to thermal stress. So, like, expect some rock drama and maybe a cool sound effect.
