Although the tempreture of inner core is more then the melting point of the material that makes it up is in solid state because of high pressure exearted by the outer core and earth crust.

What becomes a solid above the melting point?

The melting point is the temperature which a material, element or mixture, changes from the solid to a liquid. Therefore, all liquids become solids above the melting point.


What temperature does melting occur?

Melting occurs when a substance absorbs heat energy. The rigid crystal structure of the particles breaks down, and the particles are free to flow around one another.


Why Iodine melting point is above room temperature?

Iodine melting point is above room temperature because its vapor pressure is less than one atmosphere.


What do boiling point and melting point have to do with the phase of matter of an element at room temperature?

The state of matter of a substance at room temperature depends on whether the melting and boiling points are above or below room temperature. At room temperature:A substance is solid if both the melting and boiling points are above room temperature.A substance is liquid if the melting point is below room temperature but the boiling point is above room temperature.A substance is a gas if both the melting point and boiling point are below room temperature.


Is water a contributer to a rock's melting temperature?

Yes. The presence of water can significantly reduce the melting temperature of rock. For example the presence of water and other volatiles in a subducting slab of oceanic crust that acts to significantly reduce the melting temperature of the mantle material above it leading to the formation of magma and the volcanism that is associated with subduction zones.

When a material is melting the temperature?

When a material is melting, the temperature is likely to be increasing. That or the temperature is just above the material's melting/freezing point.

The melting point is the temperature which a material, element or mixture, changes from the solid to a liquid. Therefore, all liquids become solids above the melting point.


What are 5 liquids that do not have water?

-- pure alcohol at room temperature -- mercury at room temperature -- oxygen below its boiling temperature -- iron above its melting temperature -- nitrogen below its boiling temperature -- salt above its melting temperature -- gold above its melting temperature -- any other element or compound that is not H2O, above its melting temperature and below its boiling temperature


Is the temperature of the stiffer mantle above of below its melting point?

In the earths interior which zone has a temperature higher than its melting point?

The inner core of the Earth has a temperature higher than its melting point. Despite being made of solid iron and nickel, the immense pressure at the center of the Earth keeps it in a solid state even at temperatures above its melting point.

What mining of melting point?

The melting point is the temperature at the solid and liquid states of the material are in equilibrium; if the temperature is even very slightly above the melting point, the material will melt, and if it's even very slightly below, the material will freeze. Technically the melting point depends on the pressure, but usually the dependence is not very strong; you have to change the pressure a lot (and by "a lot" I mean many multiples of normal atmospheric pressure) to change the melting point by enough to even notice.


Why Iodine melting point is above room temperature?

Iodine melting point is above room temperature because its vapor pressure is less than one atmosphere.


How can you use boiling points and melting points to determine a solid liquid or gas that an element would be in at a certain temperature?

If the temperature is below the melting point then the element is a solid.If the temperature is above the melting point but below the boiling point, then the element is a liquid.If the temperature is above the boiling point, then the element is a gas.


How can you determine if a substances is a solid at room temperature?

Check the melting point of the substance. If the melting point is below room temperature, then the substance is liquid and if the melting point is above room temperature then it is solid.


Is the temperature of the stiffer mantle above or below its mantle point?

is the temperature if the stiffer mantle above or below its melting point
