Water has a higher temperature in ice causing it to melt faster.

no


Why does an ice block melt when left out in open?

The surrounding temperature increases the temperature of the ice block causing it to melt.

What happen when you put the ice in your palm?

The ice takes heat energy from your palm causing the ice to melt and your palm to get colder.


What happens to icebergs after they have broken off a glacier or ice sheet?

They float away from the poles and gradually melt.


Why does an ice melt faster in hot water?

The heat from the hot water is transferred to the ice, making the ice heat faster, thus causing it to return to room temperature faster, making it melt faster.


Why soot will cause ice to melt?

Soot lowers the albedo of the ice (the amount of solar energy it is able to reflect), causing the ice to absorb more radiation and therefore warm up and melt more.


How does the sun affect an ice cream cone?

sunlight isn't what makes the ice cream technically melt faster. if you were standing outside in the winter, the ice cream doesn't melt as fast as in the summer. what really causes the ice cream to melt is the heat. the heat changes the physical property of it thus causing it to melt faster.


An ice cube melts when mechanical energy increases?

An ice cube will melt when it is above the freezing point of water. At this point the individual molecules have enough energy to vibrate more causing the ice cube to melt.


What makes ice cubes melt faster sugarpepper or salt?

Salt, since it will ionize, and therefore lower the freezing point, causing the ice to melt at a lower temperature than if there was no salt.


Why do poles not melt?

The North Pole and the South Pole are just places. They have a lot of ice, and the ice is melting, faster in some places than in others. So the Polar Regions do melt, but they haven't completely melted yet.
