Rocks have various melting points due to their mineral compositions. A rock's melting point is determined by the melting point of the minerals of which it is composed, and the amount of lithostatic or directional pressure it's under.
The point when rock is molten is 1,200 degrees celsius.
just melting... like an ice cream... like lava when it melts it cools and forms molten material.

Lowers the melting point. I know this because I am in Advanced Earth Science. :)
This is the melting point.
yes! its the Asthenosphere :D
Decreasing the pressure on rock will allow rock to melt at lower temperature. High pressures will raise the melting point of rock.
If the rock melts the resulting rock type would be igneous rather than metamorphic.
Water reduces the melting point of rock.
The rock will melt.
Water reducing the melting point.
A rocks melting point would be determined by the highest temperature at which its constituent minerals would melt.
The rock melts to form magma.
If the temperature of rock rises above the melting point, it will melt into liquid. Theoretically, though not realistically, the rock could undergo a phase change and vaporize.
When the temperature of a rock rises above its melting point it turns into magma, usually found in the mantle (found below the Earth's crust).
Yes. Rock can be liquified by raising its temperature to that of the melting point of the mineral constituent with the highest melting point.
It can't. You can increase the melting point of a particular rock by placing it under a great deal of pressure however.
In theory yes: increasing pressure will increase the melting point mostly (not for ice!). In practice: it is hardly noticable, not significant at all, for most solid materials.Pressure increases the melting point of rock. The molecules are packed tighter together and thus take more energy to liquefy.

Because it's hot in lancaster.
