The less pressure the faster you can skate on the ice.

Would -6 Celsius be a good temperature for ice skating?

Yes, -6 Celsius is a good temperature for ice skating as it is below freezing and will help maintain the ice's integrity. Just make sure to dress warmly and check that the ice is safe before skating.


Why do ice skates have sharp edges even though it creates a large pressure on ice and damage the ice skating ring?

B/c the sharp edge is needed to provide control and forward motion. w/o the edge the skates would just as happily slide sideways across the ice which would make controlled skating slow, and close to impossible.


Why would it be more likely for someone who is ice skating to fall through the lake than a person walking in normal shoes?

Someone ice skating is more likely to fall through the ice because the skates concentrate the skater's weight on a smaller surface area, increasing the pressure on the ice. This pressure can exceed the ice's load-bearing capacity, especially if the ice is thin or weak. In contrast, a person walking in normal shoes distributes their weight more evenly across a larger surface area, reducing the likelihood of breaking through the ice. Additionally, skaters often move at higher speeds and make sharp turns, which can destabilize their balance and increase the risk of falling.


A fun thing you can do on ice?

Ice skating is one fun thing, although if you have the funds snowmobiling can be a blast. Ice fishing, hockey, and curling can also be a good time.


Why ice might melt after you have skated on it?

When you skate on ice, the pressure applied by the blades causes localized melting. This is due to the pressure lowering the melting point of ice, leading to a thin layer of water forming on the surface. Additionally, the friction generated by skating produces heat, further contributing to the melting process. As a result, the ice can become slippier and more prone to melting under the weight of the skater.

How do the ice skating shoes differ from snowshoes in terms of pressure exerted?

The narrow edges to the blades of ice-skating shoes are designed to put great pressure on the ice, and help the skater to glide over the ice. Shoe-shoes are designed to spread your weight and help you to walk over deep snow without sinking in too deeply.

Why are there no trails of the skates on the ice after the ice skater has passed by?

Skating on ice happens through a process called regelation. The blade of the skate exerts pressure downward essentially causing the ice to melt due to the pressure, creating for a short time the little bit of water needed for the skater to move and then as the pressure is gone, that water refreezes usually in the ridges that are typical on a skating rink.

Is Ice skating more popular then Figure skating?

Figure skating is a type of ice skating. It's like asking "Is a Ferrari more popular than a car?" A Ferrari is a type of car. Ice skating includes figure skating, speed skating, ice dancing, ice hockey, any type of activity where you move across the ice on skates. So, ice skating would have more participants because it includes more activities than just figure skating.
