Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Melting of rocks is often associated with subduction zones where one tectonic plate plunges beneath another. As the plate sinks into the mantle, the pressure and temperature increase, causing the rock to melt and form magma. Magma is less dense than solid rock, so it rises toward the surface and can eventually cool and solidify to form igneous rocks.
