Answer:

snowshoes have a large surface area.

Step-by-step explanation:

this distributes the weight of the person wearing them over a larger surface area, meaning that less downward pressure is applied to the snow which prevents the person sinking into the snow. This allows for easier travel in snow conditions :)

hope this helps!!
