Definitely heat, or salt
Melting of ice or snow.
The salt does not alter the temperature of the snow, but gets into the structure of the ice crystals, causing the water (ice remember is frozen water and snow is ice) to have a lower freezing point.
Salt doesnt slow down the melting of ice. It actually speeds up the melting in most cases because the addition of salt lowers the temperature required for the water to freeze. That's why they will often put salt on the roads after a snow storm...to melt the ice.
Salt lowers the melting/freezing temperature of water, thus causing ice and snow to melt. However in places where it is VERY COLD the salt cannot lower the melting/freezing temperature enough to cause it to melt, so sand is used instead as it improves traction, even with the ice and snow still there.
black I tried it once
Salt lowers the melting point of snow and ice.
Melting of ice or snow.
Meltwater
melting
Rivers that have started in high mountains from melting ice and snow.
because salt melts down ice and keeps the coldness away from being cooled
Snow primarily changes into ice be melting and refreezing. In glaciers, snow is crushed and recrystallizes under pressure.
It looks like snow!
abrasion

Sand isn't used for melting snow. Sand is used for traction.
