Colliding drops of water freeze together in the cold upper regions of a thunderstorm forming a layer of ice which creates what?
Hail forms in the upper levels of thunderstorms when water collides and forms ice.
Why doesn't spring water freeze?
If the temperature is below freezing a water supply will freeze in the cold weather. The water will not freeze if the temperature is 32 degrees or more.
Which of these events happens first in Earth's polar regions A Denser water sinks B Water travels as a deep current C Water molecules move closer together D Cold air chills water molecules?
In polar regions of Earth, FIRST, cold air chills the water molecules.
What are three direct causes of mechanical weathering?
Water (rain, rivers), sand and cold (frost).
The scale that water freezes at 32 and boils at 212?
It is very cold water. At normal pressure, it is as cold as water can get before it starts to freeze.
Why are rivers cold?
Rivers and streams are composed of fresh water which freezes at 32o F or 0o C, so if the water gets colder than that, it will freeze. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature (which is why salt is used to melt ice).

When water freeze what's the reason?
Cold temperatures will, if cold enough, freeze water.
What can freeze faster hot water or cold water?
cold water
Does warm or cold water freeze first?
cold water
How do cold air and hot water make the water freeze faster?
Cold air and hot water makes water freeze faster simply because the hot water is steaming and so the result is that there is less water to freeze. hot water = steam = less water less water = faster freeze cold air = faster freeze
What happens to water when it gets cold?
It expands when you freeze it
How much does water freeze in Arizona?
There are times when the temperature in Arizona dips into the high 20's (F) at night and shallow pools of water can freeze. It does not stay cold long enough for lakes or rivers to freeze over. Parts of Arizona do get snow during the winter months.
Why water freeze?
Because cold
How do waterfalls freeze?
if the air gets cold enough it can freeze water.
Which typr of water will freeze first hot or cold?
cold
Does hot cold or salt water freeze faster?
Cold water, being the closest to freezing point, will obviously freeze the fastest. Hot water will freeze the second fastest, and salt water barely ever freezes, except in very cold conditions.
