The water at the top is more exposed to cold air than the water at the bottom of the ice tray.
The Absolute scale (degrees Kelvin) which starts at absolute 0. The Centigrade scale that starts at the freezing point of ice. The Fahrenheit scale that starts at the freezing point of brine.
Freezing: 0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit, unless the sun is shining on it and the temperature is just below freezing.
salt water freezing temperatureWhen you place salt on the ice it starts to disolve making a saltwater solution .Salt water has a lower freezing point than water; therefore, the ice melts until the temperature of the water reaches the freezing temperature of salt water at that particular concentration.
The shiny things on top of the ice are likely air bubbles trapped during the freezing process. The white things on the bottom of the ice are usually impurities or particles that have settled as the ice froze from the top down.
salt and ice are the freezing mixtures of ice.
Freezing water of is an example of physical change.
The mass of ice after freezing will be the same as the mass before freezing. The volume however, will be greater as ice than it was as liquid water.

Yes, it is possible for it to rain below freezing temperatures. This typically occurs when the air closer to the ground is above freezing, causing rain to form, but freezes upon contact with surfaces that are at or below freezing. This phenomena is known as freezing rain.
Ice storms are basically a big freezing rain storm. As freezing rain begins to fall it forms coats of ice on the objects that it falls upon. The ice starts to accumulate and soon the weight of the ice upon tree branches, power lines, etc., becomes too much and they start to break. But how come the precipitation isn't just snow, or just rain? Freezing rain only occurs in certain weather conditions. For freezing rain to occur there must be close to 100% humidity, with upward moving air to keep it that way. Also there must be three layers of air: one cold layer, near the surface of the Earth. One warm layer just above that. And one more cold layer, at the top, where the precipitation starts. It starts out as snow in the first cold layer, as it falls it hits the warm layer and melts into rain. It continues to fall and when it reaches the 2nd cold layer it starts to cool off again. It probably won't have time to freeze again before it hits the ground or an object, so when it hits an something that is 32°F or less, it freezes instantly. That is how freezing rain is formed.
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
You may be thinking of nunatak -- a mountain top that pokes out of the ice sheet.
