The application of pressure to ice forces a state change from solid to liquid, which enables skating.

“so because water expands when it freezes it can only exist in that expanded state as ice if you successfully squeeze it it cannot be squosen as ice the only way you can squeeze it is for it to change state and then become smaller in its volume”

Water ice exhibits varying properties, such as hardness, depending on the temperature at which it is maintained.

“water freezes at zero degrees celsius 32 degrees fahrenheit and we call that ice but you can have ice at any temperature below that and the properties are different depending on what temperature the ice is so ice is not ice is not ice it's it depends on how cold the ice is”
