The freezer takes heat out of the air in it, and discards the heat elsewhere. As long as
the air in the freezer is colder than the water in the ice-cube tray, heat flows out of
the water into the air around it, and is removed by the freezer. If the temperature of
that air happens to be lower than the melting/freezing point of water, then the water
eventually freezes at some time during the process.

∙ 15y agocoz the freezing point of water is 0 degrees celsius and the freezer is colder then that

The hot atmosphere
Why are ice cubes not a mineral?
Ice cubes are not naturally-occurring in the cube form, they are man-made. But ice itself is a mineral.
What is the difference between ice and ice cubes?
Nothing. Ice cubes are ice in cube form. There are other forms of ice, including meteorological (sleet, hail, road ice, and icicles) and manufactured ice that is in blocks, crushed, shaved, or powdered.
Explain why ice cubes placed in your refrigerator's freezer section become smaller over time?
Ice "melts" in two different ways. We are all familiar with the solid to water phase, which absorbs a lot of heat and is responsible for cooling our drinks. The other way is called "sublimation." When ice is kept below freezing but exposed to air with extremely low humidity, as in a frost-free refrigerator, water molecules escape from the surface to the surrounding air because the water vapor pressure at the surface is higher than vapor pressure of the air itself. Over time, this results in shrinkage of the cubes. It is the same process that keeps the freezer frost-free, similar to evaporation but occurring at much lower temperatures.
Why does ice cubes turn smaller in the freezer?
Because your stupid.
What happens to water in a freezer?
Water becomes ice cubes in a freezer.
What is the reason Ice cubes left in the freezer for several months will become smaller because of what?
Sublimation
How do you make ice cubes with what materials?
Water, an ice cube tray and a freezer.
Is it harmful to put water in the freezer?
Not if you want ice cubes.
Do ice cubes evaporate over time in the freezer?
yes
How do make ice cubes?
Well, the general way of making ice cubes is filling ice cube trays with water and putting them in a freezer, or you can buy a fridge that has an ice cube machine to make ice cubes for you.
When is water a mineral?
Water as a solid, in the form of ice, is considered a mineral when it is naturally occurring. Ice in snow banks is considered a mineral but ice cubes you make in your freezer are not a mineral.

Why dont ice cubes melt when they are put in an ice box?
FAT or put lots of salt around your stash of ice cubes and then cover it in a bunch of hay or put them in a nice cold freezer.
How water can cause soil to be lost?
It can be Frisian in the freezer in to ice cubes
How do you you make the ice cubes melt the slowest?
keep em in the freezer
