Activity 4. What Do You Think?

The document discusses three factors that could influence whether partial melting occurs: high pressure in the asthenosphere, too much water in subduction zones, and contact with hot molten rock in the crust. It states that partial melting will not occur if pressure is high or there is too much water, but will occur if there is direct contact with hot molten rock, as this can transfer heat to the cold crust.

ACTIVITY 4.

WHAT DO YOU
THINK? 

a. Do you think partial melting will occur if the pressure is high


in the asthenosphere?

I think partial melting will NOT occur, because there should


be a decrease of pressure in the asthenosphere so that the
partial melting will happen. 

b. Do you think partial melting will occur if there is too much


amount of water in the subduction zone?
 
I think partial melting will NOT occur if there is too much
water in the subduction zone, because too much water will
decrease the melting of the rocks. 

c. Do you think partial melting will occur if there is direct


contact of hot molten rock in the Earth’s crust?

I think partial melting WILL OCCUR if there is direct contact


of hot molten rock in the Earth’s crust, because the heat is
transferred from the molten rocks to the Earth’s cold crust.
