Rock can begin to melt below the Earth's surface at temperatures ranging from approximately 650 to 1,200 degrees Celsius (1,202 to 2,192 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the mineral composition and pressure conditions. Higher pressures found deeper in the Earth can elevate the melting point of rocks. Additionally, the presence of fluids can lower the melting temperature, facilitating the formation of magma in certain geological environments.

What 3 metals would melt on Venus?
Three metals that would melt on Venus due to its extremely high surface temperature of about 870 degrees Fahrenheit (465 degrees Celsius) are lead, zinc, and aluminum. These metals have melting points below Venus's surface temperature.
Why is snow in shade softer than snow in sun?
Snow in the shade potentially hasn't melted or metamorphized yet, if temperatures are below freezing. In the sun, the additional heat from radiation will be enough to melt the snow on the surface, which then refreezes because the temperature is below freezing.
Can metal melt ice?
Yes, metal can be heated to a high enough temperature to melt ice. However, the rate at which it can melt ice depends on the specific type and temperature of the metal.
What tempateure does it snow?
The temperature in the clouds must be below freezing. If it is below freezing (32 Fahrenheit, 0 Celsius) all the way to the ground, snow will fall. If not, it will melt and reach the ground as rain, freezing rain, or sleet, depending on if it has time to refreeze. Snow can even fall if the temperature at the surface is a little above freezing if it doesn't have time to melt as it falls.
How long could chalk melt on the sun?
Chalk would not melt on the sun as temperatures on the sun's surface can reach up to 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit), which is far above the temperature at which chalk would melt or burn.
What depth below earths surface do you have to go before the pressure and temperature cause rocks to melt?
At depths of 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface rocks will melt.
What rock can melt at a depth of about below earths surface?
50km
The ways Which extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are formed?
extrusive- when melted rock material coools on earths surface instursive-when the melt cools below earths surface
What 3 metals would melt on Venus?
Three metals that would melt on Venus due to its extremely high surface temperature of about 870 degrees Fahrenheit (465 degrees Celsius) are lead, zinc, and aluminum. These metals have melting points below Venus's surface temperature.
To what depth below Earth's surface do you have to go before the pressure and temperature cause rocks to melt?
At depths between 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface, temperatures and friction, along with the presence of water, could cause melting of subducting crustal material. Rising currents of mantle rock could melt from decompression at shallower depths.
Melted rock below earths surface?
Melted rock below Earth's surface is known as magma. Magma forms when rocks in the Earth's mantle melt due to high temperatures and pressure. As magma rises towards the surface, it can eventually erupt as lava through a volcano.
On what planet will lead melt?
Lead and several other substances would melt on the surfaces of Mercury and Venus. Mercury's mean surface temperature: 167oC (333oF) Venus' mean surface temperature: 464oC (867oF)
Is. magma is melt rock that has come to the surface?
No! First of all, magma is below the surface and it is molten material.
How does ice change the earth surface?
it will over flood the earths surface with melt water of the ice berg and detroy land under sea level
Do igloos melt in the sun?
Not as long as the air temperature remains below freezing.
Where would you stay if you wore on plant Venus?
umm...nowhere....venus' gravity is like 3 times what earths is so it would crush us to dust...and then the 400 degrees surface temperature would melt us
Does water melt below room temperature?
Ice will melt when above freezing point. Most homes are a lot warmer than that!
