In solids the particles are holded strongly.in other words there is a strong force of attraction.when rocks are melted the force of attraction gets weakenedand thus the particles are able to move easily.

Is a melted rock a metamorphic rock?

no, if it is melted, it is igneous


How do rock particles move during the passage of an s wave through the rock?

Rock particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. As the S wave passes through the rock, the particles move in a shearing or side-to-side motion. This movement causes the rock to deform and can result in shaking or ground displacement during an earthquake.


Is a shale rock a melted material inside the earth?

No, shale rock is not a melted material inside the earth. It is a type of sedimentary rock formed from compacted mud and clay particles. Melted materials inside the earth form igneous rocks through volcanic or intrusive processes.


What happens to the particles when a solid is melted?

When a solid is melted, the particles gain enough energy to break free from their fixed positions in the solid structure. This leads to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles causing them to move more freely and take on the shape of the container they are in.


How does the movement of particles in a stick of butter differ from the movement of particle in a dish of melted butter?

The movement of particles in a hard stick of butter are solid. Their not moving. While the movement of particles in a melted sick of butter are liquid. They are moving.


When ice cream melts do the particles in the ice cream move slower?

When ice cream melts, the particles do not actually move slower. The melting process involves breaking the bonds between the particles, allowing them to move freely as a liquid. So, the particles in melted ice cream actually move more freely compared to when it is frozen.


A type of rock formed when melted rock hardens?

Igneous rock is the name for the types of rock formed when melted rock hardens.


What melted rock beneath the earth is called?

Melted rock beneath the earth is called magma.


Does lithosphere or asthenosphere contain partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle?

The asthenosphere contains partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle, while the lithosphere is a rigid layer of the Earth's crust and upper mantle that does not contain melted rock. The asthenosphere's semi-fluid behavior allows tectonic plates to move across it.


Is kinetic energy increased as wax is melted or is it decreased?

As the wax is melted, the particles start to move around instead of just vibrating in position. As the temperature increases further their kinetic energy also increases.


What are motion of particles that finish melting called?

The motion of particles that occurs once a substance has completely melted is called fluid motion. In the fluid state, the particles move freely and do not have a fixed shape or volume.


How does melted rock reaches earth's surface?

From holes in the ground that push up the melted rock
