 How
Ice Rinks Work
You've no doubt thrilled
at the speed and agility of great athletes skating on
indoor ice. But you've probably taken for granted the
surface that makes it all possible. Nevertheless, the
temperature and other characteristics of the surface can
make the difference between a gold-medal performance and
an embarrassing spill. Indoor ice rinks are used for all
sorts of sports and recreational activities, including
hockey, figure skating, and speed skating, and in all of
these sports the quality of the ice makes a big
difference. |

whose primary responsibility was the selection of world
teams at that time. |

 Physical
Properties of Ice
Ice can assume a large
number of different crystalline structures, more than any
other known material. At ordinary pressures the
stable phase of ice is called ice I, and the various
high-pressure phases of ice number up to ice XIV so far.
Ice
Crystal Surface Physics
The interface between ice
and air is not always a simple boundary, and near the
melting point the surface undergoes a "surface
melting" transition, forming what is sometimes called
a quasi-liquid layer.
