Heat and pressure.
No, igneous basalt forms from the cooling and solidification of molten rock below Earth's surface (intrusive) or from lava flows at the surface (extrusive). While surface weathering can alter the appearance of basalt, the formation of basalt itself is primarily a result of volcanic activity.
The layer of the Earth that is made up of partly molten material is the asthenosphere. This region lies beneath the lithosphere and extends from about 100 kilometers to 700 kilometers deep. The asthenosphere is characterized by its semi-fluid properties, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates above it. Its partially molten state plays a crucial role in geothermal activity and the dynamics of plate tectonics.
Partly because most of earths water is salt water!
It is the same symbol as Partly Cloudy, a sun partly covered up by a cloud.
Because it becomes less dense as it gets hotter. Less dense=lighter and therefore rises. Just like the wax in a lava lamp.
A basin
Less/dence material rises
Magma is molten or partially molten rock beneath the earth's surface and is lighter than the surrounding rock so it tends to rise. As it moves upward, the magma encounters colder rock and begins to cool.
The mantle
The igneous rock is formed when a rock that is solidified from molten or partly molten matierial.
