When the temperature reaches the lowest melting point of the mineral or minerals of which the rock is made.
That depends entirely on what type of rock you have, and what it's made up of. Different substances have different melting points. Igneous rock has the highest, which means they don't melt easily. You'd have to know what types of materials are in the rock and look up their respective melting points in a chemistry book, or online. There is no one single answer to your question.
What else can I help you with?
Can lava melt rock in the mountain?
Underground molten rock, called magma, does melt some of the surrounding rock.
What rock is formed when sandstone is exposed to heat and pressure?
Igneous rocks-after having the chance to cool down after a melt (metamorphic rocks need pressure as well)
When snow begins to melt what does it turn in to?
water...and then disolves into the ground
What must happen to a rock for it to become a metamorphic rock?
It must melt.
How does adding fluids to hot rock cause magma to form?
The lithosphere primarily comprises of volcanic rocks and sediments that contain fluids and water. These fluids contact the rocks surrounding as the lithosphere moves into the mantle in the downward direction. The rock's melting temperature decreases when the fluid begins the enter the hot rock. This melts it to form magma.
Does magma form when rock begins to melt?
Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
How does the addition to fluid relate to the formation of magma?
When the fluids enter the already hot mantle rock, the melting temperature of the hot rock decreases. As a result, the rock begins to melt.
Can lava melt rock in the mountain?
Underground molten rock, called magma, does melt some of the surrounding rock.
Above what temperature centigrade does ice melt?
Ice begins to melt at Zero degrees...
Can anything melt a rock?
Substantial heat, whether produced by humans or naturally occurring, can melt rock.
If a rock gets a hot enough it will?
it will melt
What happens when a comet passes the sun?
It begins to melt.
Is it possible for a man to melt and harden into rock?
No. Human tissue will burn rather than melt and will not form rock.
How does igneous rock change to metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock which is exposed to increasing heat and pressure from various sources can eventually melt. If this melt then solidifies, it has become igneous rock.
Does rock candy melt in room temperature?
No. If it did then it would melt in your hand. Rock candy is made mostly of sucrose, which does not melt but breaks down at 367 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is a rock that starts with A?
Andesite is a volcanic rock. It begins with the letter a.
Does rock melt?
yes a rock melts at a large degree
