Is it possible to melt a tree?

Question

Me and my friend have a running argument on this, so can I please resolve saying that I was right. I think that you can not melt a tree.

Answer 1

yes it is possible!!! you have to first vacuum out all the air because what do you have to have to make a fire? fuel, oxygen, and heat. Then you heat it up to a very high temperature.


For all of you all that said:yeah if its a rubber tree, THAT IS NOT TRUE.

Answer 3

It is definitely possible to melt a tree.  Its how paper is made. You just can't do it with heat alone: you need chemicals to soften it up first.
