  1. Magma formation and types of Magma By: MikKloss Charles Fair And Kayla Good

  2. What’s important for it to melt? • Temperature • Depth • Water Content • Rock composition • Pressure.

  3. Temperature Depending on what type of rock and chemical composition, Rock will melt between 600 C° and 1000 C°. (1112 F° and 1832 F°)

  4. Pressure As pressure increases, the temperature at which a substance melts also increases. Temperature increases with pressure because of the weight of overlaying rocks. Depth More Depth=More Pressure from weight.

  5. Water Even the smallest amounts of water have an effect if a rock will melt or not. At any given pressure, a wet rock will melt at a lower temperature.

  6. Rock Composition There are many different kinds of rock. And they are all different. So some rocks might melt at a cooler temperature than others.

  7. Basaltic Magma, Andesitc Magma, and Rhyolitic Magma • Basaltic Magma-Same composition as
