What are the four forms that water takes when it returns to earth from the clouds?

The four forms of water that can return to Earth from the atmosphere are rain (liquid form), snow (solid form), sleet (a mixture of rain and snow), and hail (ice pellets).


What are four agents of erosion?

Four agents of erosion are water (rivers, rainfall, and waves), wind, ice (glaciers), and gravity. Each of these agents plays a role in breaking down and transporting rock and soil particles, shaping the Earth's surface over time.


What is Nonpermanent ice?

Places such as most of Antarctica are covered with a permanent layer of ice. In other places, ice only forms when the temperature drops below freezing. The ice formed when this happens in non-permanent ice because it is only temporary.


Why is ice in a glacier considered to be a mineral but but what forms a glacier is not?

Ice in a glacier is considered a mineral because it has a crystalline structure and forms through natural processes, meeting the criteria to be classified as a mineral. However, the material that forms a glacier, such as snow, does not have a defined crystal structure and does not meet the criteria to be classified as a mineral.


What is the role of hydrogen bonds in ice?

Hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in the formation of the hexagonal lattice structure of ice. In ice, each water molecule forms four hydrogen bonds that create stable, open structures with a specific arrangement of molecules. This arrangement leads to a lower density in ice compared to liquid water, allowing ice to float.
