Answer: Conduction

Explanation: As ice melts,more sunlight is absorbed,as more sunlight is absorbed,the atmosphere heats up,as the atmosphere heats up,more ice melts. This whole process is known as CONDUCTION.

Conduction occurs when there is different temperature between two materials, when there exist a transfer energy(i.e transfer from higher-energy atoms in the hot region to the lower-energy atoms in the cold region). When the atmosphere is heated up due to sunlight,there is a rise in temperature which makes the ice to melt due to transfer of warmth it absorbed from sunlight.

Why is it not advisable to touch a canvas tent from inside when it is raining?​
Sauron [17]

Answer: When you touch wet canvas, surface tension will draw water to your finger. However, the drop left behind where you touched, like any irregular point on an overhead surface, will draw condensation from inside the tent if it is humid.

For Mass

K.E = (1/2*mv^2)

Explanation:

Kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

How does an increase in temperature generally affect the rate of a reaction?
Zigmanuir [339]

Most reactions are exothemic. If the forward reaction of an equilibrium reaction is exothemic then the reverse reaction must be endothermic.

If a system in equilibrium is heated, it will move in exothermic direction to give out heat energy.
