Yes this happens all the time. It is most noticeable when it's windy, and this is the primary mechanism by which snow is lost in windy and extremely cold locations such as inland Greenland and Antarctica.
What else can I help you with?
When can ice and snow sublimate directly into water vapor and go directly into the atmosphere and does this happen in Antarctica?
No. The temperatures in this polar desert do not support liquid water.
Does snow sublimate in cold temperatures?
Yes, snow can sublimate in cold temperatures. Sublimation is the process by which a solid turns directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid. In cold temperatures, snow can undergo sublimation, turning directly from a solid (ice) into water vapor without melting into liquid water first.
Is snow a water vapor?
No, snow is a water solid.
Between which two steps of the water cycle does the ocean fit?
The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Ice and snow can sublimate directly into water vapor. Rising air currents take the vapor up into the atmosphere, along with water from evapotranspiration, which is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil. The vapor rises into the air where cooler temperatures cause it to condense into clouds. Evaporation and condensation
What is snow and how is it produced?
Snow is frozen water vapor. It is produced when water vapor in the air is turned solid by the freezing temperature.
How does snow changes to form water vapor?
Snow can melt and turn into water and evaporate, and then the water turns into water vapor.
What is frozen water vapor?
Frozen water vapor refers to water vapor that has condensed and frozen into ice crystals or snow. This occurs at temperatures below freezing and is visible in weather phenomena such as snowflakes or frost.
How does snow change to water vapour?
Snow changes to water vapor through a process called sublimation. Sublimation occurs when a solid (snow) transitions directly to a gas (water vapor) without first melting into a liquid. This happens when snow is exposed to dry air and energy from sunlight, causing it to skip the liquid phase and turn directly into vapor.
How does snow evaporation contribute to the water cycle?
Snow evaporation contributes to the water cycle by turning solid snow into water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere. This water vapor can later condense to form clouds and eventually fall back to the Earth as precipitation, completing the cycle.
Frozen water vapor that falls to earth as flakes?
snow
What causes water vapor to become snow crystals?
my mom
What do you called the hot gas or water vapor?
The process of water turning into gas (water vapor) is called evaporation.Heating water into water vapor is called boiling. High-temperature water vapor is called steam.The water has become water vapor.
