Why does ice melt showly at higher altitudes?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Melting of ice in endothermic process accomanied by decreases of volume. At altitudes, pressure as well as temperature is low. In the equibrium, Ice `harr` Water, both the factors favour backward process. Hence the melting is slow.
