Can ice be under 32 degrees and not melt?

Question

im sorry, OVER 32 degrees.

Answer 1

Yes, it can, but pressure has to be high. For example, ice at a depth of 11,000 feet in the ice pack of Greenland has been measured (or estimated) at a temperature of about 34 or 35 degrees F, I believe.

In one popular model of the interior of Jupiter, it is believed there may be a layer of water ice around the rocky core. The pressure there is so great that it can be a solid at 30,000 degrees F.

Answer 2

The Triple Point is the point, defined by a specific pressure and temperature, where a substance exists in all three physical states simultaneously - solid, liquid, gaseous.

Ice will only exist for temperatures below this Triple Point - 0.01 degrees Celsius. It is a rare exception; most substances can exist in the solid state at temperatures above their triple point, considering pressure is increased accordingly.

The triple point for water is defined by the above-mentioned temperature of 0.01 degrees Celsius and and a pressure of 0 atmospheres. At higher pressures - and counterintuitively - water requires progressively lower temperatures to exist in the solid state.

Answer 3

YES, it melts when its over 32.

Answer 4

Perhaps were you to decrease the pressure.

Answer 5

yeah it melts
