Partial Melting of Igneous Rocks

This video describes how igneous rocks form in different plate tectonic settings (oceanic ridge, hot spot, volcanic arc) as a result of partial melting and other processes. We identify which volcanic and plutonic igneous rocks would form at each plate location.

The chocolate chip ice cream example is a fantastic example of a rock with a variety of minerals that melt at different temperatures

Great video. I love a good logical summary. How about volcanic centres on extensional basin margins, such as the North Atlantic Volcanic Province. What is going on there?

Amazing video and great explanation! The melting ice cream is a really good example to use

…what a load of rubbish - come - prove a rock that melts personally - you won’t - because - rock does NOT melt 😉.
