Endogenic Process
______ are formed under certain circumstances in special location deep in the crust or in the upper mantle.
Magma
Magma forms from partial melting of _______ rocks
Mantle
As the rocks undergo “_______” because the minerals that compose them melt ate different temperature.
Partial Melting
The two main mechanisms which rocks melt
Decompression Melting
Flux Melting
_________ takes place within Earth when a body of rock is held at approximately the same temperature but the pressure is reduced.
Decompression Melting
Flux Melting
Decompression Melting
________ happens if a rock is close to its melting point and some water or carbon dioxide is added to the rock, the melting temperature is reduced and partial melting starts
Decompression Melting
Flux Melting
Flux Melting
