Ice

  
  Ice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ice caps of the polar regions are of significance for the global climate and particularly the water cycle.
Density of ice increases slightly with decreasing temperature (density of ice at at -180 °C (93 K) is 0.9340 g/cm³).
Ice scrapers are tools designed to break the ice free and clear the windows, though removing the ice can be a long, labor-intensive, and stressful process—especially when a driver ends up running late for work as a result.

 Ice age - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
An ice age is a period of long-term downturn in the temperature of Earth's climate, resulting in an expansion of the continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers ("glaciation").
Glaciologically, ice age is often used to mean a period of ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres; by this definition we are still in an ice age (because the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets still exist).
The present ice ages are the most studied and best understood, particularly the last 400,000 years, since this is the period covered by ice cores that record atmospheric composition and proxies for temperature and ice volume.

 Ice cube Did You Mean ice_cube   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Ice cubes are often preferred over crushed ice because they melt slower; they are standard in mixed drinks that call for ice, in which case the drink is said to be "on the rocks."
Ice cubes are produced domestically by filling an ice cube tray with water and placing it in a freezer.
Ice cubes are also produced commercially and sold in bulk; these ice cubes are often cylindrical, and may have holes through the center.

Ice boating - a means of travel in a specialized boat similar in appearance to a sailboat but fitted with skis or runners (skates) and designed to run over ice instead of (liquid) water.
Ice fishing - the sport of catching fish with lines and hooks through an opening in the ice on a frozen body of water.

 Emollient Cream   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Ice cream (originally ''iced cream'') is a frozen dessert made from dairy products such as cream (or equivalents), combined with flavourings and sweeteners.
Traditionally, the temperature has been reduced by placing the ice cream mixture into a container that is immersed in a mixture of crushed ice and salt.
Although the term "ice cream" is sometimes used to mean frozen desserts and snacks in general, it is usually reserved for frozen desserts and snacks made with a high percentage of milk fat.

 Ice - Wikipedia
Ice can be formed at higher temperatures in pressurized environments, and water will remain a liquid or gas until -30C at lower pressures.
An unusual feature of ice freezed at atmospheric pressure is that the solid form is less dense than the liquid form of water.
This is due to hydrogen bonds between the water molecules which line up molecules less efficiently (in terms of space) when water is frozen.

 Ice Cube (rapper) -
Ice Cube (born O'Shea Jackson on June 15, 1969 in South Central Los Angeles) is an American actor and rapper.
Ice Cube released The Predator in November (1992), a vibrant collection of cuts that were created amidst the L.A. uprising of the early '90's.
Ice Cube used his killer rap delivery to full effect on funky cuts like "Now I Gotta Wet' Cha" and "We Had to Tear This Motherf**ker Up" in a way that few other MCs could, benefiting from the contributions of a crew of producers that included Sir Jinx, DJ Muggs and DJ Pooh.

The fossil record also indicates that in comparatively recent times the Beluga's range has varied with that of the ice pack – expanded during ice age (ice age: Any period of time during which glaciers covered a large part of the earth's surface) s and contracting when the ice retreats.

The remarkable ability of the beluga to find the thin slithers of open water where the dense ice pack may cover more than 95% of the sea surface is still a source of mystery and great interest to scientists.

 Icebreaker
The weight of the ship causes the ice to be pushed down which in turn causes the ice to split and break off in chunks.
Essential to an icebreaking vessel is the ability to propel itself onto the ice, breaking it, and then successfully clearing the ice debris from its path.
Nipping occurs when ice floes around a ship are pushed against the ship trapping it as if in a vise and causing damage.

About 81 percent of its surface is covered by ice, known as the Greenlandic ice cap.
In 1386, Greenland became part of the Kingdom of Norway, which was part of the Kalmar Union and later of the dual monarchy of Denmark-Norway.
The extreme north of Greenland, Peary Land, is not covered by an ice cap, because the air there is too dry to produce snow, which is essential in the production and maintenance of an ice cap.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Morphological disambiguation is one of the hardest problems in languages that use a script in which not all the elements of the word are evident, such as Hebrew.
In the first sentence the ice plays fulfils the theme role ‘influenced’ by the action of thawing, so it must maintain the semantic feature of ‘frozen liquid’, while in the second sentence the sun performs the thematic function of ‘cause of action’, so it must maintain the semantic feature of ‘a heat-creating body’.
Therefore, in the second sentence sun cannot be exchanged with ice, as ice is not a heat-creating body.

Experiment 1 consisted of a self-paced word-by-word moving window experiment conducted on examples like these along with controls in which the disambiguating PP in (1) ("in/into the ice cream") is attached as an argument of "put", so that reanalysis is not required.
The reading times for two additional conditions containing local attachments of "into..." and "yesterday" were not significantly different either at the point of disambiguation or at the clause boundary, so that these cues appeared to be equally effective in local attachments.
However, in the two conditions that contain non-local attachments (2a) and (2b), the semantic (temporal) disambiguation towards the dispreferred structure was less effective than the syntactic (subcategorization-based) disambiguation.

He took as his zero point the lowest temperature he measured in the harsh winter of 1708 through 1709 in his home town of Gdańsk (Danzig) (−17.8 °C).
(He was later able to reach this temperature under laboratory conditions using a mixture of ice, ammonium chloride and water.) Fahrenheit wanted to avoid the negative temperatures which Ole Rømer's scale had produced in everyday use.
Fahrenheit noted that his scale placed the freezing point of water at 32 °F and the boiling point at 212 °F, a neat 180 degrees apart.

For other uses, see Snow (disambiguation).'' A fresh snowfall in [[Colorado's (USA) high forests.]] Snow is precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes.
Snow flakes by [[Wilson Bentley, 1902]] Given the initial six-fold symmetry from the crystal structure of ordinary ice (known as ice Ih), the arms of a snowflake grow independently in an environment that is believed to be rapidly varying in temperature, humidity and so on.
This environment is believed to be relatively spatially homogenous on the scale of a single flake, leading to the arms growing to a high level of visual similarity by responding in identical ways to identical conditions, much in the same way that unrelated trees respond to environmental changes by growing near-identical sets of tree rings.

During the ice ages, snow and ice would gather in these hollows, eroding the floor and walls of the hollow, causing them to get larger and deeper.
As the hollows grew, so would it gather more snow and ice which would compact into a small glacier.
Eventually, the newly formed glacier cut through the lowest edge of the hollow and continue down the hillside.
