Question: Why doesn't the same pressure effect occur for the freezing
point?


I believe it does. If I recall correctly, the pressure from the blade of an
ice skate is what melts the ice and allows the skate to glide easily across
the ice. However, it requires a much greater change in pressure to make the
same change in freezing point, so it's not relevant for your purpose.

All off the top of my head...look it up if you really want to know.
