What else can I help you with?
Is it better to ride a horse in rain or snow?
Well, it is not the best either way, although I would have to say rain. If there is snow already on the ground it can be dangerous because your horse can't see where it is putting its feet
Is rock salt that melts ice and snow dangerous to cats?
you know what, i'd presume so
What would be the reason to buy a salt spreader?
A salt spreader would be a sound purchase in areas where snow and ice accumulate during the winter months. A salt spreader can effectively distribute salt to melt ice and snow so that roads and surfaces become easier to navigate.
If you put salt on ice of snow decrease the melting point or increase it?
Putting salt on ice or snow decreases the melting point of water, a process known as freezing point depression. When salt is added, it disrupts the formation of ice crystals, causing the ice to melt at lower temperatures. This is why salt is commonly used to de-ice roads and walkways in winter.
Does snow contain salt?
No, snow does not naturally contain salt. Salt is typically added to snow by humans for de-icing purposes on roads and sidewalks.
How dangerous are snow storms?
very dangerous
What causes road salt pollution?
Road salt pollution is caused by the use of salt (sodium chloride) for de-icing roads in winter. When snow and ice melt, the salt used on roads washes into nearby water bodies, leading to elevated levels of chloride in the water which can harm aquatic life and vegetation.
Does snow have salt in it?
No, pure snow does not contain salt. However, it can pick up salt or other substances from the environment as it falls or melts, especially in urban areas where salt is used to de-ice roads.
Does salt make snow melt slower?
No, salt actually makes snow melt faster by lowering its freezing point. When salt is sprinkled on snow or ice, it causes the ice to melt and form a saltwater solution, which has a lower freezing point than pure water. This allows the snow to melt at lower temperatures than it normally would.
Does there have to be snow on the road in order for schools to be closed on a certain day?
There doesn't necessarily have to be snow on the roads for school to close, but unless the temperatures become so low that decision makers believe it would be dangerous for children to go to school, road conditions would have to be considered dangerous, which means that there would have to be snow or other freezing precipation on them or major flooding of roads.
Is a snow volcano dangerous?
yes all volcano's are dangerous ?
Why you use salt on snow?
The Salt transfers heat to the snow and causes the snow to melt and stay at 0C / 32F . Actually, when you dissolve a salt in water the freezing point of water is lowered (like anti-freeze in your car radiator). So putting salt on snow lowers its freezing point so it melts (unless its new freezing point is higher than the actual temperature, in which case it doesn't). It's a similar effect to trying to boil water that has a salt dissolved in it. It boils at a higher than normal temperature.
