The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water.
For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.

When a solid melts, it is due to an increase in thermal energy to the temperature at which it melts.
Nothing.
A solid melts when it gains enough thermal energy.
Yes because when the thermal energy of a substance increases, it's particles move faster. If the thermal energy of a solid increases, it's particles melts into a liquid. The liquid state of a substance always has a higher thermal energy than it's solid state
It either gets hotter, or it melts.
An increase in thermal energy may change a solid to a liquid, a liquid to a gas, or a solid to a gas.A decrease in thermal energy may cause a change in the opposite direction - for example, from a liquid to a solid.

It involves a loss of thermal energy.
You can change both of these by increasing or decreasing the speed of the molecules (kinetic energy), or by increasing or decreasing the heat applied (thermal energy). If you want to melt ice, you can increase the kinetic energy by increasing the thermal energy. The opposite occurs if you want to freeze water.
Their speed - Kinetic Energy - increases as the solid melts.
