How does skating is possibel on snow?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

While skating a person pressure the snow downward with his weight, i.e., increases pressure on snow below the sketes .due to it, the melting point of ice becomes lower and ice melts into water, which acts as a lubricant for skates. As the skater crosses the snow, the pressure on water is released and it is again converted into ice.
