What is the melting point of rocks?

It takes temperatures between 600 and 1,300 degrees Celsius (1,100 and 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit) to melt a rock, turning it into a substance called magma (molten rock).

What is the boiling point of a solid?

Benzene melts at 6°C and boils at 80°C; it is a liquid at room temperature. If both the normal melting point and the normal boiling point are above room temperature, the substance is a solid….

	Density at 20°C	Density at 100°C
liquid: water	0.998 g/mL	0.958 g/mL
gas: oxygen	1.33 g/L	1.05 g/L

What is the boiling point of diamond?

1,405° Fahrenheit
At about 763° Celsius (1,405° Fahrenheit), however, diamonds oxidize. The pure carbon of a diamond interacts with oxygen in the air and disappears to form carbon dioxide. If you heat a diamond to about 763° Celsius (1405° Fahrenheit), it will turn to vapor.

Which rock has lowest melting point?

Felsic minerals have the lowest melting points (600 to 750 °C) and mafic minerals have higher melting points (1000 to 1200 °C). Bowen’s Reaction Series can be thought of as an idealized order of crystallization of a cooling magma.

Does rock melt in lava?

The short answer is that while lava is hot, it’s not hot enough to melt the rocks on the side of or surrounding the volcano. Most rocks have melting points higher than 700℃. So by the time it’s out of the volcano, lava is generally not quite hot enough to melt the rocks it flows over.

What’s the boiling point of oxygen?
