is a temperature inversion with freezing rain at a higher altitude.

∙ 8y agoA crushed ice cube has more surface area that a whole ice cube...therefor heat is applyed to more of the "ice cube" during a time peroid.
Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.
because it is already ice (frozen)
Sliding friction is shown in hockey when you hit the puck. The puck has friction against the ice (but there isn't much).
Crushed ice melts faster because it has a larger surface area exposed to the air.
Sleet (ice pellets)
The Apollo 11 space mission was the first one to explore the presence of ice on the moon.
Because the temperature higher in the atmosphere is above freezing, allowing snowflakes to melt into ice. If you're experiencing sleet (ice pellets), that meanst that there is a fairly thick layer of subfreezing air at the surface, allowing the rain to freeze back into ice pellets. If rain is falling and freezing on contact (freezing rain), that means the cold layer at the surface is shallow and the rain has no time to freeze before reaching the surface. It then freezes on contact with cold surfaces, forming a glaze of ice.

This is frozen rain, which can be part of an ice storm. (Sleet is rain that freezes into ice pellets as it falls.)

There is ice beneath the surface of Mara and at its polar caps. The atmosphere contains small amounts of oxygen.
In the US, cold weather ice pellets are called sleet(frozen rain), or more rarely graupel, which consists of ice crystals that collect on snowflakes.Warm weather ice is hail, in which layers of ice build up on a nucleus as the ice is lifted aloft in thunderstorms.
