Ice in its frozen state has agreater area than liquid water, however as ice melts it does expand, before returning to its smaller area.
Water is unique in that it expands when freezing, and again when melting (thus bursting water pies) but does not reatin the volume as a liquid.
What else can I help you with?
Does ice melting make more water in a cup of water?
If the ice is floating (North Pole), then water levels do NOT rise when the ice melts. If the ice is on land (Alaska, Greenland, Antarctica) then the ice melting will cause sea levels to rise.
What could cause global ocean level to change?
What could cause this is that with global warming the earth's total temperature is going up which causes the Ice bergs and caps to melt slowly. Over time the water adds up and increases the water level of the ocean.
Why does ice cream melt quickly on a hotday?
Ice cream is a liquid at room temperature. hence "ice"-cream. ice melts when its temperature increases to over 00C
What kind of stones melt when it is put into the water?
No stone/rock melts in water. It may erode over time, but does not melt. Salt as a mineral will dissolve in water.
When a solid is heated up and turns to a liquid what does it do?
it melts.It is because ,for example ,if a boy has a dozen of ice , and he forgets to put it back,then the ice melts over time.Then ,when the boy go looks for the ice it had turned into water and what had happen was because the ice was in heat over night .That is why the ice melts and the heat helps the ice melts.
What are the reasons to why an ice cube melts?
Ice is frozen water, when you take it out of an environment that is freezing(below 32F) and into an environment that is warmer than freezing(above 32F) it will melt or turn back into water as water is thawed ice.
When does a hurricane increase its speed?
A hurricane increases its speed when it is over warm water.
Why does the string stick to the ice when you put salt on it?
The salt temporarily melts the ice. The melted water flows over the string. The water refreezes on top of the string.
What is a freezing point depression?
Freezing point depression is when the normal freezing temperature of a liquid is lowered by the addition of another solate for example the freezing temperature of fresh water can be lowered by the introduction of salt. This is why when salt is laid over snow the snow melts because the salt combines with the water in the snow and thereby increases it's freezing temperature.
How the ice of Antarctica have been formed?
It's in the ice that melt over the ice plateu and fall to the water and floats until it melts.
If you allow a container of sea water to sit in the sun the liquid level gets lower and lower and finally crystals appear what is happening?
The water is evaporating and the "crystals" are grains of salt left over.
Is a snowman liquid solid or gas?
A snowman is a solid when it's done being built, and is a liquid when it melts away. The only time that it would turn gas was if you poured boiling water over it.
