When a blade of ice skates melts the ice beneath it what does it reduce?
Wikimath
It reduces drag.
*Drag meaning friction between the blade and the ice. That said, it takes an extreme amount of force to melt ice by means of applying pressure. Consider a glacier-- if ice melted under a small amount of pressure, a large glacier would start to melt under its own weight! We can then realize that figure skaters do not melt the ice under the blade my means of pressure. Basically, yes friction/drag WOULD be reduced if the ice beneath the blade melted, but the ice simply won't melt due to the weight of the skater alone.

Which metal melts on the palm of the hand?
Francium melts at about 80oF. Cesium melts at about 83.4oF. Gallium melts at about 85.6oF. All of these are solid at room temperature but would melt in your hand. Rubidium melts at about 103.4oF, so that is just a little higher than body temperature. Mercury melts at 37.7oF, so it would certainly melt in your hand, but it would already be a liquid at room temperature.
Does anything happen when you burn sand?
no it just melts no it just melts but it will stink
If you freeze glue will it still be sticky?
No it will be frozen.After it melts it will.
What happens when dry ice melts?
Rather than melts, dry ice evaporates. This process is called sublimation and happens at a slower rate than the melting of water ice.
When a crystal solids is heated it melts at?
At its melting point, which depends on what it is.
Is there any friction when you are roller skating?
Yes, that's why the Zamboni must come out to refreeze the ice and fill in the grooves. The blade heats the ice slightly as it skates over it. It creates the grooves because it melts the ice where it glides.
What initial problem confronts Beowulf as he battles Grendel mother?
His sword blade melts
What lies beneath mount erebus?
As in all subglacial volcanos - lava - which melts the over lying ice
When the heat beneath the surface of the earth melts the plate material and sends molten rock to the surface a?
a volcano eruption.
When the heat beneath the surface of Earth melts the plate material and sends molten rock to the surface a occurs?
a volcano eruption.
What do you call a metamorphic rock that melts beneath the Earth's surface?
At the point of total melt, it would be called magma. Metamorphic rock that exhibits partial melting is called migmatite.
When the heat beneath the surface of Earth melts the plate material and sends molten rock to the surface what occurs?
A volcanic eruption, or just a simple lava flow, depending on the magnitude.

What happens when ice is wrapped in saw dust or woolen blanket?

Is table salt a liquid beneath the surface?
No, table salt (sodium chloride) is a solid at room temperature and does not become a liquid beneath the surface. It melts at a high temperature of 801 degrees Celsius (1474 degrees Fahrenheit) to form a liquid.
How was Mount Taranaki formed?
It was formed by the pacific plate sub ducting beneath the Australian plate. The pacific plate slides into the earths mantle, where it melts. the molten rock then rises to the surface because it is less dense and forms a volcano
How the energy of matter changes when it melts.?
When a solid melts, it is due to an increase in thermal energy to the temperature at which it melts.
