Cat litter is a form of fullers earth and contains magnesium oxide which is hygroscopic. This reacts with the ice to extract water and the absorption reduces the amount of ice in contact with the litter. Thus like salt it is a chemical rection.
Dirt does not melt ice. In fact, dirt can insulate ice, preventing it from melting quickly by forming a barrier between the ice and warmer temperatures. The dark color of dirt can also absorb sunlight and heat, causing the ice to melt more slowly.
Yes, acid can melt ice faster than plain water because it reacts with the ice to form a solution that has a lower freezing point. However, using acid to melt ice is not recommended as it can be harmful to the environment and surfaces.
Application of heat makes ice melt, so global warming makes lots of ice melt.
Yes, higher temperatures will cause ice to melt faster since heat energy is transferred to the ice, increasing its internal energy and causing it to melt. Conversely, colder temperatures will slow down the rate of ice melting by reducing the amount of heat energy available to melt the ice.
When ice sheets melt, the water from the ice flows into the ocean, causing sea levels to rise.
rubbing alchohol does not actually sodium chloride disolves the most due to its polar molecules that ice also has which makes it disolve ice. also kitty litter does not dissolve any ice due to the fact there is no polar molecules in it.
Cat litter is absorbent and it reacts with the ice to extract water and the absorption reduces the amount of ice.

Rock salt will melt ice fastest. Sand and cat litter don't really melt the ice. They are used generally to provide particles for increasing traction on icy surfaces. Sand might prevent new ice from forming on roads. When salt dissolves into liquid water, it depresses the melting point temperature - - when helps the ice melt easier. Sand and cat litter don't dissolve into water, so they cannot have this effect. The only thing that sand and cat litter can do is absorb radiant energy from the surroundings better than ice since they are somewhat darker and less reflective - so they provide some minor assistance to melting the snow, but nowhere near the effect of salt.

Rock Salt try it the salt will go straight down
Cat litter can provide traction on ice, but it won't melt the ice like salt does. Salt is more effective at melting ice and preventing refreezing. If traction is your main concern, cat litter can be a good alternative to salt.
it improves the power of ice type moves
Rock salt
Baking soda is a type of salt so it will melt ice like salt. It will lower the freezing point of water and the ice will melt
Yes, metal can be heated to a high enough temperature to melt ice. However, the rate at which it can melt ice depends on the specific type and temperature of the metal.
