What else can I help you with?
What is the name for the process when snow or ice changes to water?
The process when snow or ice changes to water is called melting.
What do you call a melting ice that undergoes the type of change?
Snow and ice can turn directly into water vapor in a process called sublimation.
Is it true Water stored in snow and ice can return directly to the atmosphere through the process of sublimation?
Water is not "stored" in snow and ice. The actual substance changes, this is called phase change. Dry ice, for example, will change directly from a solid to a gas form. But for regular snow and ice, I don't think that sublimation would be possible.
Is falling snow a chemical change?
No, falling snow is a physical change, not a chemical change. The process of snow falling is a result of water vapor in the atmosphere freezing into solid ice crystals, which is a physical change as it involves a change in state from gas to solid.
Water stored in snow and ice can return directly to the atmosphere through the process of sublimation.?
Sublimation is when ice or snow turns directly into water vapor without melting first. This process allows water stored in ice and snow to evaporate and return to the atmosphere without becoming liquid water.
What is it called when snow or ice melts into water?
When snow or ice melts into water, it is called "melting." This process occurs when the temperature rises above freezing point, causing the solid ice or snow to transform into liquid water.
Is the melting snow a reversible change or not?
yes it is. because you can freeze it and melt it
What is the meaning of ''water storage in ice and snow''?
''Water storage in ice and snow'' refers to the process where water is stored in the form of frozen ice and snow in glaciers, ice caps, and snowpack. This stored water eventually melts, contributing to river flow and groundwater recharge, playing a key role in maintaining freshwater resources and ecosystems.
When does ice change directly into water vapour?
Ice changes directly into water vapor through the process of sublimation when the temperature and pressure are below the ice's triple point. This transition skips the liquid phase, turning solid ice directly into water vapor in a process known as sublimation.
What process in the hydrologic cycle does the snow?
Snow is involved in precipitation process. it is the third stage.
Ice melting physical or chemical?
It is a Physical Change. Melting it does not change what components/elements are found in snow. It is just a phase change from solid to liquid.
What are the 4 agents that weather and change the earths surface?
water, ice, wind, and snow.
