Question

the rate of formation of ice decrease gradually as more and more ice is formed.why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Once ice forms the ability to cool the water beneath is limited. The ice acts as a blanket trapping heat below. The ground acts as a blanket as well. The warm water at the bottom continues to radiate heat. The ground temperature in the bottom of the pond remains in the 45 degree range. The radiating heat reduces ice formation from the underside.

Answer 2

Answer:

This is beacause the more ice formed over and over increases the thickness of ice on ponds that decreases gradually with time
