Sublimation is what happens when a solid transitions directly to a gas without going through the liquid state. This is what happens when you see the amount of snow decrease even when it isn't melting.

In cold climates the amount of snow on the ground may decrease even if the temperature stays below zero degrees celsius?

Cold dry climates allow the snow to sublime (go directly from the solid to the gaseous form) without ever being truly liquid.


Which decrease in temperature would feel cooler 35 degrees Celsius or 35 degrees Fahrenheit?

Celsius


Can ordinary water be boiled in 95 degree Celsius or 105 degree Celsius?

pure water (with no impurities added ) can only boil at 100 degrees Celsius , no other temperature . But if we add impurities to it than the temperature at which the water will boil can increase or decrease. Another point is that when we increase or decrease the atmospheric pressure, the temperature at which ordinary water boils (i.e.100 degrees Celsius) can also increase or decrease.


What is the water temperature of normal lake?

It all depends on where the lake is located at. Lakes in colder climates will have a colder normal temperature than that of lakes in warmer climates.


In cold climates the amount of snow on the ground may decrease even if the tempeature stays below zero degrees celsius. the process that best explains this event is?

sublimation. Sublimation occurs when a solid (snow) directly converts into a gas (water vapor) without transitioning into a liquid state. In cold climates, if the relative humidity is low, the snow can sublime and turn into water vapor due to the dry air, resulting in a decrease in the amount of snow on the ground.


How does a decrease in temperature from 40 degrees celsius to 20 degrees celsius affect the solubility of NH3 and KCl?

The solubility of NH3 increases , and the solubility of KCldecreases


Does temperature decrease as wind speed increases?

Yes, at least when you have temperatures below 20 degree Celsius


Is hydrogen an solid?

At room temperature, no. However in laboratories where they can decrease the temperature to very low temperatures it can be. Infact its melting point is -259 degrees Celsius


If temperature decreases below 0 Celsius then will the amount of oxygen decrease?

The amount of oxygen does not decrease as the ambient temperature gets colder, but at −182.96 °C oxygen will begin to condense into a liquid so there will be less breathable oxygen in the air.


What are the three features of monsoon climate?

Monsoon climates typically consist of monthly mean temperatures of 18 degrees Celsius, and tend to have less variances in temperature. These climates also have have wet seasons and pronounced dry seasons.
