Two identical pieces of ice, each placed on identically sized and shaped blocks of plastic and wood at the same temperature, will melt at a rate proportional to the thermal conductivity and the thermal mass of the object they are on. Generally, wood is a better thermal insulator than plastic. Short answer: wood.

Why does a block of ice melt slower than a sheet of ice?
in a block of ice the ice is packed more closely together causing it to melt slower. Just like when you make a snowman, even after all the snow on the ground has melted the snowman still remains.
Why ice cube kept on plastic and glass melt?
Plastic and glass are better conductors of heat compared to ice, so when ice cubes are placed on them, heat from the surroundings is transferred to the ice, causing it to melt. The higher rate of heat transfer in plastic and glass materials speeds up the melting process of the ice cubes.
Will wood keep ice cold?
Wood has characteristics of an insulator. Every material, such as glass, steel, rubber or cotton, will either have characteristics that either allows it to transfer Heat or to restrict heat. This is its heat transfer characteristic. Every material will transfer Heat in various rates. So if you place ICE in a box made of ice, it will melt slower than if the ice is left out by itself. The wood slows the outside heat from getting to the ice and causing it to melt.
Will ice melt faster on metal board or plastic board?
Ice will typically melt faster on a metal board compared to a plastic board. This is because metal is a better conductor of heat, allowing it to transfer heat more efficiently to the ice. The plastic board acts as an insulator, slowing down the transfer of heat to the ice and thereby slowing the melting process.
Is there an ice cube that never melts?
There is no ice cube that never melts under normal conditions. However, there are materials like Pykrete, which is a mixture of sawdust and ice, that melt at a slower rate compared to regular ice cubes.
When salt is added to ice will the ice melt faster or slower?
Ice melts slower
Will ice melt faster or slower when salt is added?
Slower
Does wood melt ice?
unless the wood is hot/warm, it most likely not melt the ice.
Does sugar make ice melt slower?
Yes it does
How can I prevent damage from ice melt on my wood deck?
To prevent damage from ice melt on your wood deck, you can use a protective sealant to create a barrier, sweep off excess ice melt promptly, and use a plastic shovel to remove snow instead of metal tools. Additionally, placing mats or rugs at entryways can help minimize the amount of ice melt tracked onto the deck.
What makes ice melt faster Granitemetalor wood?
Salt makes Ice Melt Faster
How does a cooler melt ice slower than the sun?
foam insulation
Why does the shape of an ice cube affect how quickly it melts?
if it was a cube ice it wil melt slower and if its long slab will melt faster:)
What causes Pepsi to melt ice slower?
All sodas do if you don't put enough ice. They are carbonated.
Why does ice melt slower in sugar water than in vegetable oil?
you suck
Why does yogurt melt slower than ice cream and sherbet?
It has a thicker consistency. :)
How can I prevent ice melt damage on my wood deck?
To prevent ice melt damage on your wood deck, you can use a protective sealant to create a barrier, sweep off excess ice melt after use, and avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the wood. Additionally, placing mats or rugs at entryways can help prevent ice melt from being tracked onto the deck.
