Temperature is just a name for "internal energy of grain / molecular / atomic / nucleon motion". Melting is changing from "grain dominant" motion to "molecular dominant" motion, as the energy released in forming the (usually) more stable grain structure is added back in.

Yes, if the temperature is high enough, it will cause the chair to melt. It also depends on the material of the chair.


Does ice melting depend on temperature?

Temperature is an important factor, but temperature alone cannot predict that ice will melt. Adding the heat of fusion to ice at zero degrees centigrade will cause it to melt without elevating its temperature, and removing the heat of fusion from water at zero degrees centigrade will cause it to freeze without lowering its temperature.

No. Rock melts when temperature reaches a high enough point. Increasing pressure actually raises the temperature needed to melt rock, so it can actually cause molten rock to solidify.


Why don't rocks in earth's lower crust upper crust and mantle melt?

The rocks don't melt because they are under tremendous pressure. High pressure raises the temperature needed to melt something.


Does salt melt on cold mornings?

Salt doesnt melt, it is absorbed, and as for melting on cold mornings.... name something that does melt on a cold morning.----Salt will cause water ice to soften and melt unless the temperature is very cold (much colder than you're ever likely to see this side of the arctic circle). the salt itself doesn't melt; it converts the ice around it to water and dissolves in that water, allowing it to spread out and melt more ice.
