What else can I help you with?
Are melted rocks reversible?
Yes, melted rocks can solidify and become solid rocks again through a process known as solidification or crystallization. Heat is used to melt the rocks, and cooling causes them to solidify back into their original form.
Are rocks always solid?
While rocks are typically solid, they can also exist in other states depending on the conditions. They can melt into magma when exposed to high temperatures, or break down into smaller particles through weathering and erosion. Rocks can also dissolve in water over time.
What is the name of the process that causes ice to melt?
Application of heat makes ice melt, so global warming makes lots of ice melt.
What is the main type of energy used to help convent metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks in the rock cycle?
The main type of energy used to convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks in the rock cycle is heat. The increase in temperature causes the metamorphic rocks to melt and then solidify into igneous rocks.
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the lower part of the Earth's mantle, known as the asthenosphere. This is where the temperature and pressure conditions allow for rocks to melt and form magma.
What causes the rocks in the mantle at divergent boundaries to melt?
Rocks in the mantle at divergent boundaries melt due to the decrease in pressure as tectonic plates move apart. This reduction in pressure lowers the melting point of the rocks, causing them to melt and form magma.
Are melted rocks reversible?
Yes, melted rocks can solidify and become solid rocks again through a process known as solidification or crystallization. Heat is used to melt the rocks, and cooling causes them to solidify back into their original form.
What causes igneous rocks to become magma?
Cooling to a solid.
What causes the rock in the mantle at divergent boundaries to melt?
The crust stretches and gets thinner so the pressure decreases on the mantle rocks below this causes part of the mantle to melt
What region of the earths interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the region known as the mantle. This layer lies beneath the Earth's crust and is composed of solid rock, but under high temperatures and pressure, some rocks can melt and form magma.
How a solid change into a liquid?
Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.
Could heat melt rocks?
Yes heat could melt rocks
What does heat cause?
Heat causes ojects to expand . The object also will melt if it is a solid , and will turn into gas if heated.
How does a solid dissolve faster when added heat?
because the heat is giving off pressure so it causes it to melt :)

Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
