On increasing pressure, melting point of ice

A

Decreases

B

Increases

C

Remain unchanged

D

Change in some manner

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Water fills a smaller volume when it is liquid rather than solid, it will go to a lower melting point, on increasing pressure, allowing more solid to become liquid.
