meltingatdepth
meltingatdepth is a term that describes the phenomenon of materials transitioning from a solid to a liquid state under extreme pressure, often found deep within the Earth's mantle or in the cores of planets. Unlike melting at atmospheric pressure, where temperature is the primary driver, melting at depth is significantly influenced by the immense pressures exerted by overlying rock and planetary mass.
This high pressure can raise the melting point of many substances. However, under certain conditions, such as
Understanding melting at depth is crucial for geologists and planetary scientists. It helps explain the dynamics
