Rocks can become liquid when they are subjected to very high temperatures that exceed their melting point. This process is known as melting, where the solid rock transitions into a molten state. The intense heat breaks the bonds between the mineral components of the rock, allowing them to flow like a liquid.
What else can I help you with?
How does an igneous become sedimentary?
Weathering and erosion cause the igneous rock to break apart causing sediments from it to go somewhere like a river. Than over time compaction and cementation cause it to become a sedimentary rock.
Which earth layer is made up of liquid rock?
No layer is truly made of liquid rock. The mantle is sometimes, inaccurately, said to be liquid rock when it is in fact solid, albeit relatively soft. The outer core is liquid, but it consists of liquid metal, not rock.
Hazards from earthquakes include a process called liquefaction. what happens during liquefaction?
Water-saturated soil and rock become liquid
Hazards from earthquakes include a process called liquefactions What happens during liquefaction?
Water-saturated soil and rock become liquid
Why does liquid turn into a solid when it's cooled?
The cause of a liquid turning into a solid is that the molecules from a liquid start to decrease because of the temperature dropping lower until the molecules are squeezed together and hold a shape.
What does disolve mean?
become or cause to become incorporated into a liquid so as to form a solution
To change or cause to change from liquid to solid state?
Decreasing the temperature a liquid become a solid.
Heat and pressure are involved in the formation of a rock and during the process the rock does not become liquid. so this probably what type of rock?
This fits the description of a metamorphic rock.
Why is the mantle made up of semi liquid rock?
It is a semi-liquid rock as the sheer amount of pressure in this area is so strong, solid lumps are still formed however they would become liquid if you allow them to expand.
What does liquid cools off become?
Cooling a liquid turns it into a solid. I.E. Freezing water into ice, or magma cooling into rock.
How do you change hydrogen gas to a liquid?
Hydrogen is a gas. The only method that can cause this gas to become liquid is pressure.
How does liquid rock change to solid rock?
A combination of increased temperature, a decrease in confining pressure or addition of volatiles can all act to cause rock to melt.
What are two factors that cause rock to become metamorphic?
heat and pressure
What is the similarIty between the asthenosphere and the lithosphere?
They are chemically the basic same type of rock. Heat and pressure cause the rock to become more fluid as depth increases, so the solid rock (termed lithosphere) floats upon the more liquid rock of the asthenosphere.
Can the interaction between magma and surrounding rock cause changes in the rock?
Yes. The rock will get hot, of course, and some pieces of rock will become magma itself.
How does an igneous become sedimentary?
Weathering and erosion cause the igneous rock to break apart causing sediments from it to go somewhere like a river. Than over time compaction and cementation cause it to become a sedimentary rock.
What type of change happens when lava cools to rock?
lava cooling to become rock is a change of state from liquid to solid
