water has already melted, it is a liquid. ICE melts at 32 degrees F. Water boils and evaporates at 100 degrees Celsius.

Its melting point
The physical property of water that changes when it reaches its melting point is its state of matter. At the melting point, water changes from a solid (ice) to a liquid form.
melting
When salt is introduced to water, it creates an endothermic reaction. This reaction creates heat, therefore speeding up the melting rate.
the hotter the water the faster the ice will melt
Yes, because oil has a different specific heat than water
An ice front recedes when a glaciers rate of melting is greater than its rate of movement. It is the end of the glacier.
When the rate of freezing is the same as the rate of melting, the amount of ice and the amount of water won't change on average (although there are short-term fluctuations at the surface of the ice). The ice and water are said to be in dynamic equilibrium with each other. The balance between freezing and melting can be maintained at 0C, the melting point of water, unless conditions change in a way that favors one of the processes over the other.
Adding Salt to water will lower its melting point by about 5 degrees Centigrade. When it is cold outside, you spread salt over the roads so that even if the water is at -3 degrees, it will won't freeze.
Melting
Glaciers form when the rate of snow fall exceeds the rate of melting.
The main factors affecting ice melting are temperature, sunlight intensity, and air or water movement. Higher temperatures increase the rate of melting, while sunlight accelerates this process by providing additional energy. Air or water movement can also play a role by causing the ice to melt faster due to increased heat transfer.
H2O is water. The melting point of water is 0oC or 32oF
temperature
The polar ice melt is affecting the melting rate of ice as it is rising the level of the seawater which may lead to submergence of land.
