What happens to water drops to turn them into snow?
When the temperature is low enough for water to freeze, The rain freezes and therefore snow is created.
Why do crystals of snow formed from a snow making maching even though the temperature of the mixture of water and air may be well above the freezing temperature of water?
The water molecules expand when they are blown out. When this happens, the mixture turns into snow.
What happens with snow when it touches the ocean?
It's like when you put sugar in a liquid. It dissolves, but I could be wrong.
What happens before an avalanch?
Snow falls and a rapid change must occur such as a rapid change in the temperature, strong winds, or heavy snow fall.
When snow melts what happens to temp?
Melting is a phase change. Typically what happens is that the snow absorbs heat until it has warmed to the melting point. As it continues to absorb heat, it undergoes an isothermal (the temperature doesn't change) phase change (melts). Once it has melted, it may continue to warm up above the melting point temperature. In practice different parts of the snow will be at different temperatures. The snow at the surface will be absorbing the heat and melting. As it melts, the water from the melted snow runs down into the unmelted snow where it supplies heat to that snow to start warming it up.
Why is salt added to snow during winter?
Salt does not alter the temperature of the snow, but gets into the structure of the ice crystals, causing the water (ice remember is frozen water and snow is ice) to have a lower freezing point and so, it is used to melt ice and snow in the winter months.
Temperature below freezing means snow?
Snow does occur when temperature is below freezing because snow is just frozen rain . Lets say it rains , and the temperature is below freezing , that rain would become snow . So temperature below freezing means having snow is true .
When water vapor condenses on a surface that has a temperature below zero degrees Celsius what happens and what is it called?
it freezes. this is called snow :) (just kidding)
How does sugar snow causes avalanches?
rotting out snow packs bottom
What did sugar look like?
snow
Can it snow at -1?
yes it can it can snow at whatever temperature when it is freezing
How do snow turn hard?
Snow will get harder as the temperature drops.
