How does the presence of water affect the melting temperature of a rock?
The presence of water lowers the solidus temperature of rocks at a given pressure. It drastically changes the melting temperature by a vast amount.
What affect does the presence of water have on the melting temperature of a rock?
Lowers the melting point. I know this because I am in Advanced Earth Science. :)
What are the factors that affect the formation of magma?
1. a decrease in pressure, which lowers the melting temperatures of materials; this occur at mid-ocean ridges. 2. an increase in pressure, which causes materials in the asthenosphere to melt; this often occurs at a hot spot. 3. an increase in the amount of water in the asthenosphere, which lowers the melting temperatures of materials; this often occurs at subduction boundaries.
What do you call it when you change ice to water?
The change from ice to water is a physical change defined as melting, this reaction occurs when ice exceeds a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius.)
When ice is melting what is the temperature of ice-water mixture?
32 degrees
How does water affect the melting temperature of rock at a convergent boundry?
Water reduces the melting point of rock.

How does water temperature affect the melting rate of ice?
the hotter the water the faster the ice will melt
What factors affect the melting and freezing points of water?
Temperature, atmospheric pressure and purity of the water.

Does the temperature of water affect how fast salt crystals or sugar crystals melt?
Yes. (BTW, the crystals are dissolving, not melting...melting occurs at a very high temperature).

How does water affect melting temperature of rock at a convergent boundary?
It doesn't. It does slow the melting of rock, but only because of the specific heat of water. (i.e. you've got to heat the water too.)

What determines if water is melting or freezing at 0 degrees Celsius?
if the temperature raises then water is melting (ice becomes water),if the temperature falls then it's freezing (water becomes ice)
What does melting and boiling point mean?
The relative temperature at which a group of solids change into liquids is known as relative melting point. As heat increases, the solid slowly changes its state as it melts. Melting of ice to water is an example for melting point.
