meaning the higher you go the colder it is.

How does ice erosion effect glaciers?
Glaciers consist of ice made of snow turned to ice. The ice in them erodes. The sun melts the layer on top. It erodes away. The weight of the ice makes the lower part melt. That slowly eats away at the glacier.
When ice melts it gains energy and is call this type of change?
When ice melts it is called a physical endothermic change.
Does thesea level rise when water melts?
yes it does....when ice melts.....
When ice melts the particles of ice change into other types of particles?
When a solid is heated its particles melts and change into liquid
What materials do you need to test how fast ice melts?
To test how fast ice melts, I would use a thermometer to measure the temperature the ice will be melting at, and a timer.
What happens to ice cubes if salt water is added?
It melts slowly.
Why does liquid freeze faster in a higher altitude?
Leaving aside the temperature variable, ice melts more rapidly under higher air pressures. The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure, and the more slowly ice is going to melt.
Is ice transparent?
Yes and No. When Ice is filled with Air it becomes Transclucent, when Ice melts, slowly the Air reduces and it becomes Transparent.
Is there ice in the jungle?
At the higher altitudes, yes, but it depends on the distance from the Equator as well.
Why do cirrus clouds form only at higher altitudes?
Cirrus clouds are comprised of ice crystals so they are found at high altitudes.
What happens to ice when placed in a cup of liquid water?
It simply floats and slowly melts.
How fast does ice-melt melt ice?
it all depends on the temperature. ice melts faster at higher temperatures
Which melts ice faster water or soda?
Ice melts faster in water than in soda. This is because soda has sodium (salt) in it, and adding sodium makes ice melt more slowly than it will in plain water.
Does ice melts or dissolve in water?
Ice melts in water because the ice is below freezing and the water is above freezing (warmer than the ice) so slowly the ice melts in the water, but still cools it down a little. when it melts the water frozen in the ice form is added to the amount of water it was put in.
Which beverage melts an ice cube the fastest?
Any beverage having a higher temperature than ice.
Which drink melts ice the fastes?
Any drink having a higher temperature.
What happens to the temperature of water after an ice cube fully melts?
IT slowly increases back to room temperature
