1. Melting

   Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance's temperature to the melting point. At the melting point, the ordering of ions or molecules in the solid breaks down to a less ordered state, and the solid melts to become a liquid. Substances in the molten state generally have reduced viscosity as the temperature increases. An exception to this principle is the element sulfur, whose viscosity increases in the range of 160 °C to 180 °C due to polymerization.Some organic compounds melt through mesophases, states of partial order between solid and liquid.

1. melting

   Melting is the process or change of state, usually from solid to liquid form, due to an increase in temperature causing the particles in a substance to gain energy and move more freely. This process typically occurs at a specific temperature called the melting point.

1. Melting

   Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. The internal energy of a substance is increased, typically by the application of heat or pressure, resulting in a rise of its temperature to the melting point, at which the ordering of ionic or molecular entities in the solid breaks down to a less ordered state and the solid liquefies. An object that has melted completely is molten. Substances in the molten state generally have reduced viscosity with elevated temperature; an exception to this maxim is the element sulfur, whose viscosity increases to a point due to polymerization and then decreases with higher temperatures in its molten state. Some organic compounds melt through mesophases, states of partial order between solid and liquid.

Examples of melting in a Sentence

1. Janin Schaffer:

   The reason for the intensified melting is now clear.

2. Poul Christoffersen:

   The ice in Greenland is melting on the surface faster than the snowfall can keep up with, so there is quite a big loss from the melting, in a substantial part of the ice, we get melt rates which can be up to five or six centimeters a day.

3. Diana Francis:

   Melting ice in the Arctic is reducing the temperature created between the polar region and mid latitudes and this makes the weather systems move slowly over our region, convection [ leading to storms ] now can occur over several days whereas before, without climate change, it would have occurred over several hours and moved on.

4. Marie Beyon Ray:

   Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand ­ and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.

5. Junlin Hua:

   When we think about something melting, we intuitively think that the melt must play a big role in the material’s viscosity, but what we found is that even where the melt fraction is quite high, its effect on mantle flow is very minor.
