In chemistry, there is no such thing as "cold", but is renamed "absence of heat." So yes, it is correct to say ice freezes because of a lack of heat.

What do we use that is 0 degrees Celsius?
Ice because water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius
The temperature at which a substance freezes is also its what?
The answer is that the temperature a substance freezes is also its melting point. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius into ice and if you heat ice up to 0 degrees Celsius it MELTS to give you water. Evaporation is the change from liquid to gas and condensation is the change from gas to liquid (for water this happens at 100 degrees Celsius).
What happens at 32 fahrenheit?
Water freezes. Ice melts.
What happens to the majority of water at the poles?
The majority of the water freezes because water is the only molecule that doesnt sink...so the water becomes ice
How do you turn ice into steam?
Heat it.... The heat will first convert ice into water and will then convert it into steam. You can heat ice in any kettle.....or saucepan.......
Why do you have ice in the world?
We have ice in the world because water freezes to form ice.
Why does water change into ice?
because it freezes
Why do bottles break when they are filled with ice?
Bottles break when they are filled with ice because when ice expands when it freezes.
How you think the ice formed overnight?
because it freezes at 0F
How can an ice cream makers temperature get to below zero?
because it's how it freezes the ice cream
When water freezes the temperature remains constant at 0 degree Celsius and yet the water is giving off heat constantlywhy?
This is because of the latent heat of freezing that it first has to give off in order to turn into ice. Latent heat means 'hidden heat'.
Why does ice make you numb?
Ice makes you Numb because it freezes the nerve endings not allowing you to feel.
Is it true ice floats on water because water expands when it freezes?
It is true that water expands as it freezes, but the reason it floats on water is because the density of solid water (ice) is less than that of liquid water. And the density of ice is lower because of the expansion (same mass/larger volume).
Why is Ground weak to Ice?
Water seeps down into the earth. As it freezes, it expands. It can crack apart the ground, rocks, or other areas that had been saturated.
Why do oceans in tropical areas have high salinities?
Because there is a lot of evaporation and lot a of precipitation
What takes place as an ice cube cools a drink?
kinetic energy in the drink increasesA calorie of heat energy is transferred from the ice to the water of the drink. Because ice absorbs heat from the drink, cooling down its temp.Common mistake:People think that ice producess coldness, when all its doing to the drink is absorbing the heat, causing the ice cube to melt ;)You say that a calorie of heat energy is transferred from the ice to the water, but that is not entirely correct as a calorie is defined as the amount of heat that 1g of water releases when it cools by 1 degrees Celsius. What if i add a really small block of ice? Surely a calorie of heat will not be transferred from the ice to the water. Therefore it would be more correct to say that the total kinetic energy of the drink decreases.
What must be taken away from water for it ti change to ice?
only heat energy really; placing water in a cold environment (like the freezer) freezes it, creating ice.
