Melting is the process of changing a solid into a liquid due to an increase in temperature. When a substance melts, its particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a solid form. This allows the substance to flow, taking the shape of its container.

In science explain why more salt will disslove in the water when its temperature is greater?

Sodium Chloride (table salt) is an ionic compound that has a high melting point. The higher the temperature, the more you have reached its melting point, that means the higher the temperature the more the salt will be dissolved. (as long as the temperature is about 801 degrease Celsius, or 1474 degrease Fahrenheit, because that is table salts melting point.)


For each pair of terms explain how the meanings of the terms differ melting and freezeing?

Melting is the process of changing a solid into a liquid, typically due to an increase in temperature. Freezing is the opposite process, where a liquid changes into a solid due to a decrease in temperature. Melting involves the breaking of intermolecular forces holding the solid together, while freezing involves the formation of these forces to create a solid structure.

Explain why the expansion of rock is important in the formation of magma.?

The melting temperature of materials is affected by the pressure they are under. So when "rock" in the Earth's mantle experiences a decrease in confining pressure, not only does it expand, it's melting temperature drops. If the melting temperature of the material drops below the background (also known as the in-situ) temperature, then melting will occur and in this case magma will form.This typically occurs in the earth where hot upwelling mantle material experiences a decrease in confining pressure (as there is less and less overlying material as it rises) which ultimately causes adiabatic or decompression melting.
