Answer:

below

Step-by-step explanation:

Ice melts, meaning it has a watery layer upon its surface. This allows things to be moving like they are on a liquid but it has the solidity of a solid. The thin metal of the ice skates also decrease the surface area meaning it exerts more force but in turn, it allows you to move faster and further reduces friction.
