High pressure under skaters shoes lowers melting point of ice explain?
Under the pressure exerted by skates, the melting point of ice decreases due to the compression of the ice crystals. When pressure is applied, the ice molecules become more tightly packed together, causing a decrease in the amount of energy required for the molecules to transition from a solid to a liquid phase. This is why the pressure from skate blades can lead to the melting of ice beneath them, allowing for smooth gliding.
What happens if I increase the pressure to solid water?
If you put pressure on ice it will melt.
Why do ice skates have sharp edges even though it creates a large pressure on ice and damage the ice skating ring?
B/c the sharp edge is needed to provide control and forward motion. w/o the edge the skates would just as happily slide sideways across the ice which would make controlled skating slow, and close to impossible.
Does there occur any change in melting point of ice by variation of pressure?
Yes, increase in pressure causes the freezing point to drop.

Which are the safest toddler ice skates?
There are a few different brands of ice skates, but there are no toddler ice skates. Ice skates should not be put on a toddler and a toddler cannot ice skate.

Why do ice skates have to be thin?
The thinner skates cause the body weight of the skater to be distributed over a very small surface area. This does two things...first, it reduces friction which makes you slide longer/faster/more effortlessly. Second, it creates a high amount of pressure between blade and ice. This causes a thin line of the ice under the blade to liquefy, further reducing friction. (The freezing point of water is roughly 32 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure...the higher the pressure, the colder the freezing point. This is why snow packs into a snowball when you squeeze it.

Corret sentence of Put corinnes ice skates in that there closet?
Put Corinne's ice skate in that closet.
Are black ice skates for boys?
Yes, black ice skates are for boys. In figure skating, my theory is that black is supposed to distinguish a male figure skater from a female figure skater, who wear white ice skates. Most likely, if you are renting ice skates at a public rink, the skates will be brown or blue/black if they are hockey skates. White and black ice skates are for professional usage, and thus, should not be sold to a person with no skating experience at all.
When pressure on a piece ice is increased its melting point will be?
The melting point of ice actually DECREASES with an INCREASE in pressure.

Do ice bumps damage hockey skates?
No, ice bumps do not ruin your hockey skates. Thanks, Sid
Why do you need ice skates?
