It spreads it out so instead of being in a big lump it can melt quicker eg if there is a big lump of ice it will stay there even when most of the other ice and snow has cleared.

How does increasing the surface area help in melting ice?
yes,the surface of the ice affects the ice melting.The molecules on the surface of ice are exposed to the surrounding they absorb heat from surrounding .Hence,the ice melts.
How does the structure of a leaf help with transpiration?
Increasing surface area via capillary action
How do melting points help scientists?
The melting point can help a scientist identify a substance.
How does your body adapt surface area-to-volume ratios to help exchange gases?
By providing a large area in the lungs.
Why can i use the melting point to help to identify a material?
Melting point is a specific property of materials.

What are folds of the cell membrane on the free surface?
The folds of the cell membrane on the free surface are known as microvilli. These folds will help in increasing the surface area of the cell membrane.
Why does crushing help a solid solute dissolve?
The rate of dissolution of a solid is dependent on the surface area reaction. By crushing the cube, the surface area is greatly increased, thus increasing the rate of dissolution.
What are some characteristic properties of elements?
Size, Mass, Hardness, Melting Point, Volume, Flammability, Density, Color, Weight, Shape, Surface Area, And Reactivity With Acid. There you go. Help this helped(:
How does bile help lipase enzymes get their work done?
Bile acts to some extent as a detergent, helping to emulsify fats (increasing surface area to help enzyme action), and thus aids in their absorption in the small intestine
How does surface area work?
It would help if the question was less obscure. What do you mean by "work"? How the surface area affects chemical processes (for example the surface area of catalysts), or diffusion, or surface areas and friction?
Does deconstructive forces such as erosion help build up the Earth's surface?
Yes, erosion in one area can help build up the earth's surface in another area.
How does your body adopt surface area to volume ratio to help exchange gases?
The respiration system adopts to the surface area to volume ratio to help the exchange of gases.
What is the formula for finding the surface area of a triangular prism?
find the area of all the faces then add them all up. this is how you get surface area and there isn't any formula for it
How does a net help when finding surface area?
the formula in finding the area is AREA=(LENGTH)(WIDTH) (HEIGHT) A=L X W X H) The total area of the net is the same as the surface area of the original. By working out the area of each part of the net and adding them together you get the surface area of the original object.
How do melting points help scientists?
The melting point can help a scientist identify a substance.
