The mantle will melt and liquefy under conditions of increased temperature, decreased pressure, or the addition of water (flux melting). However, melting does not occur simply due to an increase in pressure alone, as higher pressure typically raises the melting point of mantle materials, preventing them from liquefying. Thus, while temperature and water can induce melting, pressure alone does not lead to mantle liquefaction.
Other words for melt are thaw, defrost, liquefy, and dissolve.
The crust stretches and gets thinner so the pressure decreases on the mantle rocks below this causes part of the mantle 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.
Melted rock in the Earth's mantle is called magma.
When rocks are pushed down into the mantle and melt, they become magma. Magma is molten rock located beneath the Earth's surface.

Pressure
The Earth's mantle is not entirely liquid because the temperature and pressure conditions vary throughout the mantle. While the high temperatures in the lower mantle can cause some rock to partially melt and flow, the majority of the mantle remains solid due to the higher pressure that prevents complete melting.
Liquefare is just one Italian equivalent of the English phrase "to melt."Specifically, the Italian word is the present form of the infinitive of a verb. It includes among its meanings "to liquefy, to melt." The pronunciation is "LEE-kweh-FAH-reh."
