do you think partial melting will occur if there is direct contact of hot molten rock in the earth's crust?

Answer:
As it moves toward the surface, and especially when it moves from the mantle into the lower crust, the hot magma interacts with the surrounding rock. This typically leads to partial melting of the surrounding rock because most such magmas are hotter than the melting temperature of crustal rock.
