Does the melting point of aluminum change with the thickness?

The melting point of any given substance (such as aluminum) has nothing to do with the thickness or shape of the material being melted. It will melt at the same temperature. But it does require more heat in order to heat a thicker piece of aluminum to its melting point.


When water solidifies to ice then heat is?

32 degrees Fahrenheit IF it is melted at sea level and is pure (distilled) water. +++ The question contains a mistake in the science - let alone grammar. It asks for the 'heat' but that should be 'temperature', given correctly in the answer as 32ºF (or 0ºC). Heat is energy, temperature is its level.


What is the longest - Jurassic period Carboniferous period Paleozoic era or Mesozoic era?

The Paleozoic era represents the longest timespan from the list. It ran from 542 to 251 million years ago, a total time of 291 million years. It is also worth noting that an era always represents a longer timespan than a period and in fact an era will be composed of a number of periods. For completeness, the other time spans mentioned in the question are given further detail below: The Mesozoic era ran from 251 to 65.5 million years ago. A timespan of 185.5 millions years The Carboniferous period ran from 359.2 to 299 million years ago, A timespan of 60.2 millions years. The Carboniferous period is one of the subdivisions of the Paleozoic era. The Jurassic period ran from 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago. A timespan of 54.1 millions years. The Jurassic period is one of the subdivisions of the Mesozoic era. For further information, please see the related links.


What happens to volume of ice when it melts?

The volume decreases. Ice is less dense than water. Put another way, a given weight of water can be stored in a smaller volume than the same weight of ice. Another possible, but also possibly less helpful, answer is that ice cubes get smaller as they melt because they lose content as the water in them runs off as a liquid.
