in a block of ice the ice is packed more closely together causing it to melt slower. Just like when you make a snowman, even after all the snow on the ground has melted the snowman still remains.

Why does a sheet of paper fall slower than one that is crumpled into a ball?
The crumpled paper has less air resistance.
Why a sheet of paper fall slower than a coin under gravity through air?
A sheet of paper has a larger air resistance than a coin so the paper reaches its terminal velocity earlier than the coin.
Which does ice melt slower plastic or wood?
Two identical pieces of ice, each placed on identically sized and shaped blocks of plastic and wood at the same temperature, will melt at a rate proportional to the thermal conductivity and the thermal mass of the object they are on. Generally, wood is a better thermal insulator than plastic. Short answer: wood.
Why does water evaporate slower?
The question isn't entirely clear. Slower than what, exactly?
Why does paper fall slower than a marble when dropped from the same height?
The paper has more surface area and therefore more air resistance than the marble does. If you wad up the sheet of paper in a tight ball, you'll see very little difference in the falling speed.
How fast does it take for a cubic foot of ice to melt?
That depends on the shape of the ice, how cold it starts out and the condition of the surroundings. All other variables being the same, a block of ice starting at 0 °C will take less time to melt than one that starts at -100 °. Ice in an oven at 250 °C will melt faster than one sitting on the table in a 25 °C room. If the surroundings are maintained at - 50 °C, it will NEVER melt (although it might sublime). A block of ice 1 ft x 1 ft x ft will probably melt slower than one that is 6 inches x 6 inches x 4 feet, yet they are both "a cubic foot". Ice sitting on a plank of wood and surrounded by air at 50 °C will melt slower than the same block of ice dropped into liquid water at 50 °C. A block of ice will melt slower in the shade than if it is moved into the sunlight. Ice floating quietly in water will melt slower than if the water is swirling around it. Ice will melt slower in still air melts slower than ice with a wind blowing across it. A cubic foot of ice as one contiguous block will melt slower than if you take that same block and break it up in pieces. You have to be very specific about the conditions in order to make it possible to answer the question. For example: "A block of ice 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 ft initially at a uniform 0 °C floating in an unstirred vat of pure water which is maintained at a constant 45 °C"
How does a cooler melt ice slower than the sun?
foam insulation
Why does ice melt slower in sugar water than in vegetable oil?
you suck
Why does yogurt melt slower than ice cream and sherbet?
It has a thicker consistency. :)
Does a block of wood fall faster than a paperclip?
No because a paperclip weighs lees than a block of wood. A Block of wood falls SLOWER than a Paperclip.
Does a sphere shaped ice cube melt faster than a regular shaped ice cube?
A cylinder shaped ice cube will melt faster because it has a greater surface area than the rectangle-shaped ice cube has. Cubes of ice with less surface area will melt slower. Ice that has very low surface area has more ice concealed inside than it does on the outside. Therefore, ice cubes that have more surface area will melt faster... I hope this will help you.. :) ..
Will square ice cubes melt faster than octagon or hexagon ice cubes?
The square cube would melt slower because it has fewer faces and verticies than an octagon which create a weakness.
Why does a sheet of paper fall slower than one that is crumpled into a ball?
The crumpled paper has less air resistance.
Why a sheet of paper fall slower than a coin under gravity through air?
A sheet of paper has a larger air resistance than a coin so the paper reaches its terminal velocity earlier than the coin.
Why does rock salt ice not melt for ages?
Salt, NaCl, of any kind does not melt at common temperatures. It dissolves. Salt is slightly hygroscopic, that is it absorbs water from the air. So a block of rock salt left in the field for the animals, will gradually dissolve from absorbing moisture. But moisture absorbed at the surface will be absorbed further into the block, thus lessening the dissolving at the surface. Hopefully it dissolves much slower than the animals lick it.
Does ice melt fast in room temperature or with salt?
It all depends on how much ice and where it is. Ice will melt quicker in water at room temperature than in the air and a large block of ice will take longer to melt than an ice cube
Why does salt ice melt slower than ice with no salt?
The freezing point of water is lower with added salts; the heat of solution is released.
