When water rubs against rock, tiny particles of the rock slowly break off and the rock gets smaller. When ice does the same, it does the same thing but a little faster.

How does ice break rock?

It can do this in two ways. # The Ice can hold rocks in itself and rub these (like sandpaper) across other rocks as it moves, this causes the rocks being rubbed together to break.This is called abrasion. # It can also break rock as it freezes, this is because when water freezes it expands and thus if water enters a crack in a rock then freezes in the crack the ice will try to force the crack open and over time this breaks up the rock. This is called freeze-thaw.

What is the best method to melt ice without heat?

You can melt ice by using salted water, using salted water it helps to dissolve ice very slowly. Salt is broken down it originally comes from grit and grit is a big form of salt. You also can melt ice by tipping bleach over it, with bleach been a disinfectant it helps melt the ice by the strong force and the heat. You can also get rid of ice by rubbing it, when you rub it the friction rubs against the ice which then causes the ice to heat up and dissolve.
