If the ice is right at or close to the melting point temperature at ambient pressure, the pressure of a nickel will cause ice to melt and allow the nickel to penetrate into the ice, displacing the melted water as it goes.

What causes the pressure exeted by a fluid?
The weight of the fluid. Pressure = force / area.
If we put pressure on ice then how can it melt?
Putting pressure on ice can melt it by helping to break it up into smaller pieces, as happens when ice is crushed. Smaller pieces have greater surface area that can be exposed to warmer air.
What causes sea pressure?
The sea pressure increases according to the depth of sea you are sinking to.
The primary reason an ice cube feels cold to the touch is that?
Conduction causes coldness to leave the ice
What happens when you heat air?
it expands and causes pressure
What causes the thin layer of ice to form?
pressure
What happens when pressure is applied to ice crystals?
Increased pressure causes temperature to rise, enhancing ice crystal melt.
What causes snow to turn into glacial ice?
Time, pressure, temperature, and compaction.
What is a pressure causing ice layers to slide over each other?
wet ice causes ice layers to slide over each other
How do you get an iceberg?
pressure is put on a glacier and causes a chunk of ice to float of on its own. This is a iceberg.
What causes snow to turn turn to glacial ice?
Time, pressure, temperature, and compaction.
Does there occur any change in melting point of ice by variation of pressure?
Yes, increase in pressure causes the freezing point to drop.
What are the four causes of mechanical weathering?
ice wedging pressure release plant root growth and abrasion
Causes for the ice caps to melt?
Temperature and pressure is the answer. Also, a piece of ice will melt faster when there is more surface area like with a hollow ice cube.
Why is the inner core solid despite its enormously high temperatures?
It's because of the pressure from the layers above causes the particles of iron and nickel to be tightly packed.
When was Under Pressure - Ice Ice Baby - created?
Under Pressure - Ice Ice Baby - was created in 2011.
How is physics involved in ice hockey?
There are two theories on this: 1. Some say that the friction made between the shoes and the ice when the players causes the ice just below the shoes to melt and this facilitates motion of the players. 2. Others say that the special shoes used for ice hockey causes a greater pressure to be exerted on ice, causing the ice to melt (an increase in pressure decreases the melting point of a substance). This again facilitates the players' motion in the game. The truth may be that it is a combination of both theories.
