Answers & Comments
Answer:
1.On the right side of the solidus line is the region where rock will melt. ... The only other way we can make rock X cross the solid line and become magma is to move this line (arrow “d” on Figure 9.4); in other words, change the melting temperature of the rock.
2.Any chemical, physical, or biological process that affects a sedimentary earth material after initial deposition, and during or after lithification, exclusive of weathering and metamorphism.
