The ways Which extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are formed?

extrusive- when melted rock material coools on earths surface instursive-when the melt cools below earths surface


To what depth below Earth's surface do you have to go before the pressure and temperature cause rocks to melt?

At depths between 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface, temperatures and friction, along with the presence of water, could cause melting of subducting crustal material. Rising currents of mantle rock could melt from decompression at shallower depths.


Rock can melt at a depth of about below Earth's surface.?

Rock can melt from 600- 1200C, depending on the type of rock, but this is assuming 1atm pressure. Under the earth, there are higher pressures, increasing the melting point. So although the rock should have melted by the mantle, which is 500-4000C and at a depth 35-2900km below the surface, it is a silly putty-like plastic solid rather than a liquid. The earth only becomes liquid at a depth of 2900km in the earth's outer core, but that is made of metal, not rock, so essentially, none of it.
