Why does rock salt ice not melt for ages?
Salt, NaCl, of any kind does not melt at common temperatures. It dissolves. Salt is slightly hygroscopic, that is it absorbs water from the air. So a block of rock salt left in the field for the animals, will gradually dissolve from absorbing moisture. But moisture absorbed at the surface will be absorbed further into the block, thus lessening the dissolving at the surface. Hopefully it dissolves much slower than the animals lick it.
Does dry or wet air cool faster?
No. The temperature of air does not necessarily affect how much moisture it carries. Warm air, though, is capable of holding more moisture than cold air is.

The air is holding half the moisture that it has the capacity to hold. You can say nothing quantitative though with only this information.
How does plant eat food?
It gets it through its roots. As the water get passed by. A plant dose not eat, as much as absorb. Fertilizer on the other hand, is mixed with moisture and in the soil gets to the roots of the plant. Then soon, absorbed like water.
Colder air holds less moisture than warmer air?
If air is holding as much moisture as it can, colder air holds less than warmer.
If the air is only holding one third as much moisture as it can possibly hold what is the relative humidity?
35
What gas in the atmosphere was absorbed by the oceans as they formed?
