When dry ice is placed on the desert surface, it doesn't melt into a liquid like regular ice but sublimates directly into carbon dioxide gas, creating an air gap that allows it to glide smoothly on the sand. In a fascinating demonstration, the dry ice smoothly slides across the sand but not over a rock. However, when the rock is placed on the dry ice, it effortlessly slides, showcasing the unique properties of frozen carbon dioxide.
