What happens when the lithosphere at point $\mathrm{X}$ is heated to $1500{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$a. No changeb. Starts to crystallizec. Starts to melt
Step 1
The temperature of the lithosphere generally increases with depth, reaching up to 1200°C at the base of the lithosphere. When the lithosphere at point X is heated to 1500°C, it exceeds the typical temperature range of the lithosphere. This increase in temperature Show more…
