Ice melts slowly at higher altitudes. Explain why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Melting Process of Ice:** Ice (solid water) melts to form liquid water at its melting point, which is 0 degrees Celsius under standard atmospheric pressure. 2. **Effect of Altitude on Pressure:** At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower than at sea level. This decrease in pressure affects the equilibrium between ice and liquid water. ...
