Which outcome occurs when applying compressive stress to a block of ice near its melting point?

💡 Explanation

When pressure increases near the melting point, the Clapeyron effect causes localized melting because the melting point decreases slightly with pressure, favoring phase change under compression. Therefore, localized melting occurs, rather than increased hardness, amorphous transition, or sublimation, which require different temperature variations or different thermodynamic conditions.
