Why are ice skates different than the other kinds of skates?
Ice skates are different because they have blades on them and they are designed differently than per Se roller skates. Roller skates have more padding and have wheels on them, while figure skates have blades on them. If one wanted to compare a figure skate to a hockey skate, for example, a hockey skate does not have toe-picks while a figure skate does. Hope this helps :)

How do ice skaters glide so smooth across the ice?
The weight of a skater is concentrated in the thin blades of the skate, which exert enough pressure on the ice to cause some of it to melt. The water then lubricates the skate, which moves almost frictionlessly across the ice. Even without lubrication, ice tends to be quite slippery. So as long as the skater can remain balanced, the movement is quite smooth.
What type of friction pushes us a skater ahead?
Kinetic friction between the skate blades and the ice pushes the skater ahead. This friction is created when the blades of the skates grip the ice and propel the skater forward as they push off.
