Question
A(n) ____ forms when melted snow refreezes as it runs over an uninsulated eave.
Group of answer choices
- air leak
- ice dam
- ridge dam
- snow slide
Solution
The correct answer to the question is ice dam.
Explanation
An ice dam forms when melting snow flows down a roof and then refreezes at the eaves (the edges of the roof) that are uninsulated and cold. This can cause water to back up under the shingles and potentially leak into the home. Ice dams can lead to significant damage if the water seeps into walls or ceilings. Thus, in the context of the options provided, "ice dam" is the most appropriate choice.
In summary, the phenomenon described is characteristic of an ice dam due to the freezing of running water from melted snow at cold eaves.
