Question

Temperatures in the earth's interior are above the normal melting point of rock. True False

Answer 1

The correct answer is.

True

Answer 2

Answer:

The statement "Temperatures in the Earth's interior are above the normal melting point of rock" is a true statement.

Explanation:

The Earth's interior is composed of four different layers; the mantle, the planetary core, the outer core, and the inner core. Three of them are solid and one liquid and although estimates on the temperature in these layers can vary, the average goes from 9.000 to 13.000 degrees Fahrenheit. Considering that the melting point for a rock goes between 572 to 1.200 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the size of the rock, it is correct to state that the temperatures in the Earth's interior are above the normal melting point of rock.
