How does an ice lolly melt?
An ice lolly melts when its temperature rises above freezing point, causing the ice to change from a solid to a liquid state. This process is known as melting, where the heat energy from the surroundings breaks down the solid ice structure.
Salt melts ice so why doesn't the icebergs melt in the ocean?
They do. It just a slow process.
When ocean water freezes does it become fresh water when it melts?
For the most part it does. There is some salt (brine) that is caught in the water when it freezes, but as the ice ages the brine will drain out.
Does the composition of the ice change when it melts?
The composition of ice is H2O, and once it melts to water, its composition is ... H2O! So, no, the composition does not change.
Is an ice caps water fresh water or salt water?
Ice caps are made of fresh water. When this ice melts into the ocean, it contributes to the salinity of the water in that area.
When ice forms water its volume comes down so why would ocean levels rise if Arctic ice melts?
Much of arctic ice sits above the level of the ocean. When this ice melts it adds to the volume of the ocean without subtracting any ice volume.
What happens to a land mass previously covered in glacier ice once the ice melts?
It usually rises, without the weight of the ice.
What happens to the sea level if all the sea ice melts?
Since sea ice is already located within the ocean, sea level will not change if it melts.
What is it called when snow or ice melts into water?
When snow or ice melts into water, it is called "melting." This process occurs when the temperature rises above freezing point, causing the solid ice or snow to transform into liquid water.
When ice melts what does it leave behind?
When the ice caps melt, it leaves water behind. If all the of the icecaps melt, it will rise the ocean level 20ft.
How does an ice lolly melt?
An ice lolly melts when its temperature rises above freezing point, causing the ice to change from a solid to a liquid state. This process is known as melting, where the heat energy from the surroundings breaks down the solid ice structure.
Why does salt melt ice cubes faster?
salt melts ice because it wants it to die
How the warming of the atmosphere could lead to rises in sea level?
with each degree the temperature rises, the ice from the polar caps melts more making the sea level higher
Salt melts ice so why doesn't the icebergs melt in the ocean?
They do. It just a slow process.
How does the global warming affect the poles?
It melts the polar ice caps, causing extra water in the ocean.
What is in salt that melts ice?
It is the salt itself that melts ice.
When ocean water freezes does it become fresh water when it melts?
For the most part it does. There is some salt (brine) that is caught in the water when it freezes, but as the ice ages the brine will drain out.
