                                    Explain why the snow on ht mountain peaks does not melt at a temperature slightly above `0^(@)C`. | 
                            
| Answer» The atmospheric pressure on the mountain peaks is low. As ice contracts on melting, with the decrease in pressure its melting point increases. Thus, the snow does not melt slightly above `0^(@)C`. | |
