Facets:
value: rapidly
type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: Since ice can change its density as it warms—affecting its height in subtle ways—both height and mass measurements are useful to see exactly how much is melting.
text: As subsidence proceeds, the ice increases rapidly in density in the upper layers of a glacier owing to the compression of included air, but at greater depths the density of even the most air-rich ice hardly differs from the density of pure ice, and accordingly the rate of change of density with depth is infinitesimal.
