Two blocks of ice when pressed together join to form one block because

Options

  1. Aof heat produced during pressing
  2. Bof cold produced during pressing
  3. Cmelting point of ice decreases with increase of pressure
  4. Dmelting point of ice increases with increase in pressure

Correct answer

C. melting point of ice decreases with increase of pressure

Step-by-step solution

When two blocks of ice are pressed against each other, then the pressure applied on the blocks of ice increases and the melting point decreases. Thus, two blocks of ice fuse together and form one block.
