Answer:
Because ice is less dense than liquid water, its melting point is lowered under high pressures. A long-standing theory says that this is what causes ice to be slippery: As you step on it, the pressure of your weight causes the top layer to melt into water.

Answer:
Friction is reduced as there are very few irregularities and also the melted water on top acts as a lubricant.
