When the person keeps the skates on the ice, the ice melts due to the pressure exerted by the weight of the person. This forms a groove in which you can skate. The moment the skate moves ahead, the ice behind solidifies again. Thus, it is possible to skate on ice.
I think that it's because when you step onto the you create friction, and friction also heats things up causing the ice to melt below the metal blade. Water is like a lubricant (that is why most hydroslides have a continuous stream of water going down them so you can slide down more easily), so it creates less friction between the blade and the ice allowing you to skate on it. The water soon freezes again.

Why is hot water used for hockey rinks?
Most likely because the hot water slightly melts the bumps in the ice and then freezes creating a smooth layer of ice for the skaters to skate on.
Can you give me a sample sentence using the idiom skate on thin ice?
You are skating on thin ice if you are waiting until this late to finish your homework. She was skating on thin ice when she told the teacher that the dog ate her homework.
What do you wear on ice to skate?
Well,when you ice skate,the best thing to wear is a turtleneck and jeans-you don't want to get too hot-and you can always wear a vest.
How is skating possible on ice?
Skating on ice is possible due to the unique properties of ice and the design of skates. When a skate blade glides over the ice, it applies pressure, causing a thin layer of ice to melt slightly, creating a water film that reduces friction. This allows the skater to glide smoothly. Additionally, the sharp edges of the skate blades provide grip for turning and stopping.
How skaters skate on ice using phase diagram of water?
As we glide across the ice, we exert pressure on the thin blade, and are therefore creating a small stream of water in our path by melting that ice. The water between the blade and the ice is what we really glide across. Right when we stop exerting pressure, that water freezes almost instantly due to the cold temperature surrounding it
Could you ice skate on Antarctica?
Can you ice skate in antartica
Why do a liquid water forms under the blade of ice skate?
because spesific density of ice is less than the density of water
Does ice melts faster in hot water?
ice melts faster in hot water because the hot water is transfering the separate particles in hot
Does an ice cube melt faster in hot chocolate or hot water?
An ice cube will melt faster in hot water.
Why does water without ice stay the same in a plastic cup?
The plastic cups I can get have thin walls. This means the water without ice stays as water because any temperature changes to the water will not last very long. Insulated cups have thick walls so they will cool liquids cool and hot liquids hot
Can hot ice cool water?
I don't think that is possible. How can "hot" make "cool" water "cold"? (also, 'hot ice' is boiling water)
What happens if you keep hot ice in your fridge for a long time?
There is no such thing as hot ice. The ice is a cold and frozen solid made out of water. Ice happens when water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. But if the ice is hot, it will turn into water. If you touch the top of fridge it most of the time hot or at room temperature, so the water(hot ice as you said it) will remain at the same temperature as the room or hot.
