Why is snow pink?

It is caused by a snow algae, single-celled organisms that live atop snow fields around the world. It has been remarked for at least 2000 years since Aristotle wrote about snow that was "reddish in color" in his "History of Animals". In north America it is called watermelon snow just because of the color and fruity scent. (by the way do not taste it!) In Scandinavia it is called "blood snow". Near penguin rookeries, of course, there is often another reason for snow's pinkish orangish tinge: Guano!


What Rain and snow are two main form?

Rain is a form of precipitation that falls as liquid water from clouds, while snow is a form of precipitation that falls as frozen ice crystals or flakes. Both rain and snow are important components of the Earth's water cycle, contributing to the distribution of water around the planet.


Global warming is accelerated by the reduction of global snow and ice cover?

Global warming is accelerated by the reduction of snow and ice cover because ice and snow reflect sunlight back into space, which helps cool the Earth. As ice and snow melt, darker surfaces are exposed, which absorb more heat and further warm the planet in a feedback loop. This can lead to more melting, sea level rise, and changes in weather patterns.
