... As it rises, some of the rock melts to form magma. Why does melting happen there? To understand that, you need to know that the melting temperature of rock decreases as the pressure on the rock decreases. As the mantle rock rises, its temperature stays about the same because cooling takes a long tim ...

... A rock is a substance made up of one or more different minerals. That is why an essential part of rock identification is the ability to correctly recognize the major (or most abundant) minerals within a given rock sample. This is often described as the rock’s mineralogy. Another important component ...

Tectonic–climatic interaction
Tectonic–climatic interaction is the interrelationship between tectonic processes and the climate system. The tectonic processes in question include orogenesis, volcanism, and erosion, while relevant climatic processes include atmospheric circulation, orographic lift, monsoon circulation and the rain shadow effect. As the geological record of past climate changes over millions of years is sparse and poorly resolved, many questions remain unresolved regarding the nature of tectonic-climate interaction, although it is an area of active research by geologists and palaeoclimatologists.
