Would Ice cubes with the same volume but different surface areas melt at the same soeed?
No, the greater the surface area the faster the ice cube will melt.
What is the surface area of 5 cubes?
that depends on how big the ice cubes are, advice: pay attention in class!
Does the shape of an ice cube affect how long it takes the ice cube to melt?
Yes, absolutely. Heat transfer from the surrounding environment into the ice cube causes it to melt. The greater the rate of heat transfer INTO to ice cube, the faster it will melt. The greater the surface area of the ice cube, in relation to it size, the faster the melting will occur. The ideal shape for the least heat transfer [and this is true for cold or hot objects] is a SPHERE. A sphere has the minimum surface area for the mass of the object. Any shape other than a sphere has more surface area for the mass, an will melt faster. The thinner more spreak out ice will melt faster melting consumes enerhy inthe form of heat. The amount of energy needed is the proportional of the ice water. The heat applied to it can be radiation or matter. Johnson Kevin, Ohio
What solids have curved surfaces?
depends i meen ice can have a curved surface
How does the Ice O Matic work?
The Ice-O-Matic is a commercial ice making machine. It works by keeping water in a separated tray in a cold unit. It leaves them there for a set period of time while they freeze, then dropping them into the area to be used.
How does ice change the earths surface?
frezze plants
What percentage of earths surface is in the form of glacial ice?

What is the surface area of ice?
ice
How does ice change the earth surface?
it will over flood the earths surface with melt water of the ice berg and detroy land under sea level
What can large ice sheets do to change the landscape of the earths surface?
changes the climate
Huge mass of ice that moves slowly across the earths surface?
It is an iceberg.
How does ice erosion effect Earth's surface?
It doesnt effect the earths surface, it affects the the earth surface by expanding cracks in the ground.
How does increasing the surface area help in melting ice?
Increasing the surface area of ice exposes more of it to warmer temperatures, which helps accelerate the melting process. This is because a greater surface area allows for more heat transfer from the surroundings to the ice.
What percentage of earths surface water is in the form of glacial ice?
Approximately 69%
How much of earths is covered by water?
Roughly 75% of Earths Surface is covered by water. (including the Oceans, lakes and land Ice).
What are the 4 agents that weather and change the earths surface?
water, ice, wind, and snow.
Does Triton have ice?
Yes, and not just water ice. Triton's surface is mostly frozen nitrogen.
