They're the same.

latent heat of fusion - heat absorbed by a unit mass of a solid at its melting point in order to convert the solid into a liquid at the same temperature

latent heat of solidification - heat liberated by a unit mass of liquid at its freezing point when it solidifies

Is crystallization a reversible process?

Yes, crystallization is a reversible process. By carefully controlling factors such as temperature and concentration, you can both create crystals through crystallization and dissolve them back into a solution. This reversibility is a key aspect of the crystallization process, which makes it useful in various applications.

How the composition of the melted material in magma changes as it cools. how is the partial melting the opposite of fractional crystallization?

As magma cools, the composition of the solidifying minerals changes due to the crystallization of different minerals at varying temperatures, leading to a more silica-rich residual melt. Partial melting occurs when specific minerals in the rock melt at lower temperatures, producing a melt with a different composition than the original rock. In contrast, fractional crystallization involves the sequential crystallization of minerals from a melt, resulting in a solid that is compositionally different from the remaining liquid. While partial melting creates a melt enriched in certain elements, fractional crystallization depletes the melt of those same elements as they are incorporated into the forming crystals.


What is an allotriomorph?

In geology, an allotriomorph is a mineral which did not develop its otherwise typical external crystal form because of late crystallization between earlier formed crystals.
