The tumbleweed dispersal strategies are unusual among plants; most species disperse their seeds by other mechanisms. Many tumbleweeds (though by no means all) are ruderal species, opportunistic agricultural weeds. Tumbleweeds have been recorded in the following plant families:
The most obvious is temperature. If the air temperature is above 32Â°F snow and ice will start to melt, at or below 32Â° and it will remain frozen. Think about a popsicleâ¦ inside the freezer it stays frozen, outside it starts to melt. The amount of sunshine plays a big factor.
Why does salt melt ice? In pure water, at 0Â°C, ice melts just as fast as water freezes. You won't see any of the ice melt as long as the freezing rate and melting rates are exactly equal [ 1 ].Adding salt (or any foreign substance) to the water upsets the delicate balance between freezing and melting.n pure water, at 0Â°C, ice melts just as fast as water freezes.
