    The word "molten" describes a substance that has been melted or liquefied by the application of heat. It is commonly used to refer to substances such as metal, glass, or rock that have been transformed from a solid state into a liquid or semi-liquid form due to high temperatures.

    Something that is molten typically exhibits characteristics such as high fluidity and a glowing or hot appearance. These properties are a result of the particles within the substance moving freely and energetically due to the increased thermal energy.

    The term "molten" is often used in technical and scientific contexts, particularly in fields like metallurgy and geology. In metallurgy, molten metals are frequently encountered during processes such as smelting or casting, while in geology, molten rock or magma is found beneath the Earth's surface or in volcanic eruptions.
