Why would an icy road at -1 degress C be more dangerous than an icy road at -10 degrees C?

An icy road at -1 has more moisture in the ice, meaning that their will be more water in the icy mixture keeping it on the road. More water=more ice. When the temperature drops further it reacts by extracting the moisture, condensing the crystals in the ice. It acts almost like a drying effect on the roads. There will still be ice and it will be dangerous. However with all this said, it just depends on how much precipitation is involved with the road. A road that hasn't been wet (snow or freezing rain) for days is much safer than a freshly covered one. That is the bottom line. Look out for wind, curves and animals. Slow down.

Is fork lightning more dangerous than sheet lightning?
Sheet lightning, or more accurately intracloud lightning is the same as lightning that hits the ground, the only difference is that it is within the cloud. They are no different apart from that. They are the exact same thing, except one would take a different path. They are both dangerous.

How many degress are in a obtuse angle?
180 degrees or more, but not less than 90 degrees
How many degrees are in a obtuse angle?
For an angle to be obtuse, it has to be more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degress.
What is an angle that is more than 90 degress but less than 180 degrees called?
obtuse
How do you classify angles?
Acute ( less than 90 degrees), Obtuse (more than 90 degress), Right (90 degrees), Straight (180 degrees), Reflex (more than 180 degrees)
An angle measuring more than 90 degress?
obtuse: greater than 90 degrees right: 90 degrees acute: less than 90 degrees
Can an equilateral triangle have an obtuse angle?
No it can't. The reason is because an obtuse angle/triangle has to have a measurement of 90 degrees more or up until 180 degress.

The climate is extreme: annual temperatures can range from near-freezing (32 degress F) in the winter to more than 50 degrees C (122 degrees F.) during the summer.
Why is it useful to have more than one name for an angle?
Because of the angle was different. Name three kinds of angles there. Among them: right-angled (90 degress), obtuse angle (more than 90 degress), and acute angle (less than 90 degress).
What is the greatest number of degrees that a traveler can ever be away from the prime meridian is?
Since the whole epic drama is playing out on the surface of a sphere, and all latitude and longitude measurements are really angles on the sphere, you can never be more than 180 degrees away from any latitude or longitude that anybody wants to name.
Is cold more dangerous to humans than heat?
Both will kill you and both are dangerous. If you were to try and quantify it however. If you were to start with body temperature which is approximately 37 degrees Celcius, and compare one degree either side of that and continue onwards from that, heat would kill you before cold would.
