Why does crushed ice melt faster than the same amount of icein single block?
A 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 heavier than water or not?
Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.
Why does an ice with larger amount of surface area freeze faster?
because it is already ice (frozen)
How is sliding friction shown in field hockey?
Sliding friction is shown in hockey when you hit the puck. The puck has friction against the ice (but there isn't much).
Why does crushed ice melt fast?
Crushed ice melts faster because it has a larger surface area exposed to the air.
What is rain that passes through a layer of freezing air near earth's surface?
Sleet (ice pellets)
Which was the first space mission to explore the presence of ice an the surface of the moon?
The Apollo 11 space mission was the first one to explore the presence of ice on the moon.
Why does moisture come down as ice instead of snow in temps of 20's?
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.
What is converted into ice crystals from water vapor in a cloud?
ice pellets
Ice pellets are also known as which of these?
Sleet
What are Frozen drops of rain that fall as pellets of ice and water?
This is frozen rain, which can be part of an ice storm. (Sleet is rain that freezes into ice pellets as it falls.)
What is the little ball's of ice that sometimes fall with rain called?
ice pellets
Is fire hotter than ice?
fish pellets
Pellets of ice that fall to the ground are called?
sleet
What is tiny partially melted ice pellets?
Sleet
Is there presence of water oxygen on mars?
There is ice beneath the surface of Mara and at its polar caps. The atmosphere contains small amounts of oxygen.
What are pellets of ice called?
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.
