Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
What else can I help you with?
What rock melts then hardens again?
Metamorphic rocks can melt under high temperatures and pressures, forming magma. When this magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks. This process is known as migmatization.
What type of rock forms from a melt by crystallization?
igneous rocks- rocks that are formed from melted minerals. ore-a rock that has a large amount of minerals.
What region of the earths interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the region known as the mantle. This layer lies beneath the Earth's crust and is composed of solid rock, but under high temperatures and pressure, some rocks can melt and form magma.
What type of rocks can melt into lava or magma?
Igneous rocks, specifically those that are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma, can melt back into lava or magma when subjected to high temperatures and pressure. Additionally, sedimentary rocks can also melt into magma if they are buried deep within the Earth's crust and exposed to extreme heat. Metamorphic rocks, formed under heat and pressure from existing rocks, can similarly melt into magma under sufficient conditions.
When rocks are pushed down into the mantle and melt it become?
When rocks are pushed down into the mantle and melt, they become magma. Magma is molten rock located beneath the Earth's surface.
What forms when rocks or minerals partially or completely melt?
Lava and magma are two forms of melted rocks
What does most magma forms from?
Most magma forms from the partial melting of Earth's mantle rocks. As these rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures in the mantle, certain minerals melt at different temperatures, leading to the formation of magma.
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the lower part of the Earth's mantle, known as the asthenosphere. This is where the temperature and pressure conditions allow for rocks to melt and form magma.
What rock melts then hardens again?
Metamorphic rocks can melt under high temperatures and pressures, forming magma. When this magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks. This process is known as migmatization.
What type of rock forms from a melt by crystallization?
igneous rocks- rocks that are formed from melted minerals. ore-a rock that has a large amount of minerals.
Most magma forms in?
the Earth's mantle. As temperatures increase with depth, rocks partially melt to form magma. This magma can rise towards the surface through volcanic activity.
What can't magma melt?
Magma is already molten rock that forms beneath the Earth's surface. It can melt other rocks, but it cannot melt elements or compounds with higher melting points, such as diamonds or tungsten.
What region of the earths interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the region known as the mantle. This layer lies beneath the Earth's crust and is composed of solid rock, but under high temperatures and pressure, some rocks can melt and form magma.
When rocks are pushed down into the mantle and melt it become?
When rocks are pushed down into the mantle and melt, they become magma. Magma is molten rock located beneath the Earth's surface.
Where would igneous rocks be at?
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
In which region of the earths interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks begin to melt?
asthenosphere
