Which outcome occurs when the mantle's adiabatic upwelling cools?

💡 Explanation

Partial melting occurs during mantle upwelling because depressurization decreases material melting points; the adiabatic expansion drives the phase change. This is decompression melting, therefore causing magma formation rather than other processes requiring greater temperature gradients.
