Question

snow shoes stop you from sinking into snow

Answer 1

SNOW SHOES STOP YOU FROM SINKING INTO SNOW BECAUSE SNOW SHOES HAVE LARGE AND FLAT SOLES SO THEY EXERT LESS PRESSURE ON THE SOFT SNOW AND STOP THE WEARER FROM SINKING INTO SNOW

Answer 2

as they have a greater surface area and thus applies less pressure on the snow and prevent you from sinking as pressure is inversely proportional to area.
