Melting point decreases (becomes more negative)
When you add the heat of fusion (also called enthalpy of fusion) to ice at zero degrees centigrade, the energy involved serves to change the form of the material from ice to water, and it does not increase temperature. See link.
melting ice a physical change
The sign only depends on whether it's an exothermic or endothermic reaction. So no, it doesn't depend on phase change, and in some reactions, there is no phase change. But you will find correlation between the sign and the direction of the phase change because they will either be endothermic or exothermic. The enthalpy of fusion is positive because melting is an endothermic reaction (think - you put in heat to melt an ice cube). Endothermic reactions are represented by positive enthalpy. Conversely, freezing is an exothermic process (heat is taken out of the molecules in order to slow them down). We represent exothermic reactions with negative enthalpy.Always be conscious of the sign when working with thermochemistry calculations. Unlike the usual math, the signs of these numbers are somewhat arbitrary. We say that the system is losing heat in an exothermic reaction; thus, the energy must be represented by a negative. However, there are a few areas (like electrical engineering) where an exothermic reaction is represented by a positive number (because usually the goal is to produce heat).
ice melting is a physical reaction
Melting point decreases (becomes more negative)
There are two tendencies in nature: things tend to go to the lowest possible energy (enthalph) level (delta H = negative) and the highest possible state of disorder (entropy)
the ice caps are melting
its the latent heat of fusion or simply Enthalpy of fusion.ie,this heat is absorbed or added at melting temperature.for eg latent heat of fusion of ice= 6.02 KJ/mol (80cal/gm).

Melting ice turns the ice into water.
The molar enthalpy fusion of ice is larger than the enthalpy of many other solids. The amount of energy needed to melt one mole of a substance is its molar enthalpy of fusion.
it is relatively large
When you add the heat of fusion (also called enthalpy of fusion) to ice at zero degrees centigrade, the energy involved serves to change the form of the material from ice to water, and it does not increase temperature. See link.
ice cubes that melt are called as melting ice cubes

You get a "+1" for being on the ice when your team scores and a "-1" when your on the ice when the opposing team scores
