The higher the heat, the faster the atoms will vibrate and break up into a liquid. but when freezing the atoms move slower and freeze because it is below the freezing point.

What is the liquefying a solid by heat?
Melting
Does colour effect melting ice cubes?
It MAY. If the ice is in the sunlight, a dark color will absorb heat, and cause faster melting. We spread wood ash on snow and ice in the winter to speed melting- darker colors.
Called of liquefying a solid by heat?
melting
What is the energy associated with melting called?
Heat
Why does uranium not yield energy when fused with something else?
Melting of metals is a process with heat absorbtion, not with heat releasing; and the nuclear forces cannot be released by melting.
What effects ice melting the most?
heat
What is best for melting snow and ice?
Definitely heat, or salt
When snow melts what happens to temp?
Melting is a phase change. Typically what happens is that the snow absorbs heat until it has warmed to the melting point. As it continues to absorb heat, it undergoes an isothermal (the temperature doesn't change) phase change (melts). Once it has melted, it may continue to warm up above the melting point temperature. In practice different parts of the snow will be at different temperatures. The snow at the surface will be absorbing the heat and melting. As it melts, the water from the melted snow runs down into the unmelted snow where it supplies heat to that snow to start warming it up.
Why does the snow on your compost pile melt faster than the snow on the ground?
The accelerated melting of snow on compost as opposed to the ground, is the heat produced in the decomposition of organic matter.

Can salt and chemicals melt the snow completely?
Salts (sodium chloride, calcium chloride) are added to reduce the melting point of ice; also the heat of dissolution contribute to the melting.
Why does the north heat up most due to global warming?
Principal reason for large effects that will be observed in the Arctic is because of a large number of positive feedback loops (i.e. ice/snow melting and albedo changes) that would occur there.
Is melting snow into water chemical or physical change?
physical, because there is no chemical reaction to cause the change. it's just heat.
How does Snow die?
by melting.
What when applied to snow or ice lowers the melting point of the mixture?
Salt lowers the melting point of snow and ice.
What are snow fed rivers?
The water coming from melting of snow
How might melting snow contribute to flooding?
The water from the melting snow can add on to a river or stream and it can over flow, that will cause the flooding.
