Melting is the process in the rock cycle that causes magma to form.
"Condensation"Condisation
The molten rock cycle is the only cycle that does not pass through the atmosphere. This cycle involves the process of magma cooling and solidifying to form igneous rocks beneath the Earth's surface.
The process is cooling. When magma cools slowly, large well-define crystals form.
Crystallization is the process where chemical changes occur in magma. As magma cools, minerals within the magma start to solidify and form crystals, altering the chemical composition of the remaining magma. This process can lead to the formation of a variety of igneous rocks with different mineral compositions.
The process through which single parent magma can form rocks with different compositions is known as fractional crystallization. It occurs as the magma cools and solidifies, with different minerals crystallizing at different temperatures. As these minerals crystallize and settle out of the magma, they can form different rock compositions depending on the minerals that have formed. This process can produce a range of rock compositions from a single parent magma.
"Condensation"Condisation
A rock cycle starts off as magma. Then as the magma cools, crystals form, and eventually the magma solidify into igneous rocks. The process breaks down into sedimentary rocks. The processes change a pre-existing igneous or sedimentary rock into a new rock called metamorphic rocks, then it melts into magma and the process starts all over.
The molten rock cycle is the only cycle that does not pass through the atmosphere. This cycle involves the process of magma cooling and solidifying to form igneous rocks beneath the Earth's surface.
The process of melting transforms gneiss, a metamorphic rock, into magma by subjecting it to high temperatures and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. This causes the minerals in the gneiss to melt and form a molten liquid called magma.
The process of minerals formation from magma is called crystallization. During this process, minerals solidify and form crystals as the magma cools and hardens.

In order to form magma, sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rocks must be exposed to high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust. This process causes the rocks to partially melt, forming molten rock called magma.
