Melts are most likely produced by the adiabatic rise of mantle material at divergent plate boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges. As mantle material rises due to the reduction in pressure, it undergoes decompression melting, leading to the formation of magma.
Magma
The sentence incorrectly implies that rock itself melts to form magma. In reality, the heat from the mantle causes the surrounding rock to melt and form magma which then rises towards the crust. Consider revising the sentence to accurately reflect this process.
The part of the plate that is subducting gets melted into magma and flows back into the mantle.
mantle at a convergent plate boundary. This subducted plate melts due to the high temperatures and pressures in the mantle. The melted material can rise as magma and create volcanic arcs and mountain ranges on the Earth's surface.
The mantle melts at divergent margins due to decompression melting. As tectonic plates move apart, the pressure on the mantle decreases, causing it to melt and rise to the surface, leading to the formation of new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
Heat from the mantle melts part of the lower crust.
Heat from the mantle melts part of the lower crust.
it makes more magma.
ice, when it melts.
Hot spot.

as the plates separate , hot rock from the upper mantle is drawn upwards and it partially melts
The rock that melts underneath the Earth is called magma. Magma is formed from the melting of the Earth's mantle and can rise to the surface to form igneous rocks when it solidifies.
Rich in magnesium and iron due to their origin from ultramafic mantle rock. They are usually less viscous compared to melts formed from other types of rock. The composition of these magmas can vary depending on the degree of partial melting and the specific mantle source.
