Question

Hi friends,
What is regelation?​

Answer 1

Regelation is a process of generation of melt water from ice which is subjected to higher pressure. Higher pressure of ice mass lowers the melting point and causes to melt the ice. The ideal example that demonstrates this phenomenon would be the melting from the glacier ice.

The phenomenon in which the ice melts to the water below 0°C on the application of pressure and refreezes back to ice on the removal of pressure is known as Regelation.
