Question

Explain why snowshoes stop you from sinking into the snow.

Open in App
Solution

Snowshoes stop from sinking into snow because the snowshoes are very large and have a large surface area. So when the surface area is large than the pressure exerted by the shoes on the ground will be less. Thus the person will not sink into the snow.
