Why does salt on a ski hill make the snow more firm?
The salt temporarily melts the snow, creating water. The water then refreezes, creating ice. Ice is much firmer, and faster than snow.
Why does seawater freezes slow than fresh water?
Salt melts snow. Sea water is full of salt.
Is snow melting salt bad for the environment?
Yea its really bad for the environment because when you put road salt on clean snow, the snow becomes polluted. Polluted snow melts faster than clean snow because of lower albedo. After the polluted snow melts it goes into our water source and then it becomes into water pollution which becomes a bigger problem. Also, it can give plants and sometimes trees salt burn just by it being in the air and also when the snow melts the water carries the salt in to our fresh water lakes and rivers
What does salt do to ice and snow?
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which causes ice and snow to melt. When salt is applied to ice or snow, it forms a solution with the water, making it harder for ice to form and easier for existing ice to melt.
What are the negatives about salting roads?
they are it can give plants and sometimes trees salt burn just by it being in the air and also when the snow melts the water carries the salt in to our fresh water lakes and riversand some more
What melts snow and ice effectively?

What is the vehicle that salts roads and melts snow?

To see if this site is reliable I am going to ask a simple scientific question If you have salt on snow what happens?
Some types of salt melts the snow
Does snow have salt in it?
No, pure snow does not contain salt. However, it can pick up salt or other substances from the environment as it falls or melts, especially in urban areas where salt is used to de-ice roads.
Which melts snow and ice rock salt or sea salt?
The stuff you buy for that purpose is just plain, ordinary salt.
What is a freezing point depression?
Freezing point depression is when the normal freezing temperature of a liquid is lowered by the addition of another solate for example the freezing temperature of fresh water can be lowered by the introduction of salt. This is why when salt is laid over snow the snow melts because the salt combines with the water in the snow and thereby increases it's freezing temperature.
What is it called when snow melts?
Water.
