absolutely. especially considerig the kind of metal, they have different melting points. lead and Mercury are very low...they melt easily....others are higher, but magma at it's median temperature would most certainly make short work of it.

Yes. Magma is liquid rock, usually at a temperature higher than the melting point of silver (981.6 °C). However, some magma is "only" as hot as 600 to 900 °C.

What makes a valcano errupt?

If the rocks below the volcano melt, the liquid rock will gather in a chamber underground. As the pressure in this chamber increases the magma may be forced out. This is an eruption. Eruptions are more likely to be explosive if the magma contains a large amount of water or gas, as the expansion of the water or gas makes the magma explode as it is released.


How does the composition of the magma effect the temperature at which it solidifies?

When fluids such as water combine with rock, the composition of the rock changes, which lowers the melting point of the rock enough to melt it.

Can magma melt iron?

Yes, magma can melt iron. Magma is composed of molten rock, which can reach temperatures high enough to melt iron, which has a melting point of about 1538 degrees Celsius. When iron-bearing materials are exposed to high enough temperatures in the Earth's mantle or during volcanic activity, they can melt and become part of the magma.
