When a cloud turns into a glacier, it undergoes a transformation from water vapor in the atmosphere to solid ice on the ground. This process begins with condensation, where water vapor cools and forms tiny droplets or ice crystals, which can accumulate in cold environments. Over time, layers of snow and ice build up, compacting under their own weight, eventually forming a glacier. This transition reflects a shift from atmospheric moisture to a large, stable ice mass that moves slowly under gravity.

What is a glacier budget?
A glacier budget refers to the balance between the accumulation and ablation (loss) of ice within a glacier over a specific period, typically a year. Accumulation occurs through snowfall and ice flow, while ablation happens due to melting, sublimation, and calving. When accumulation exceeds ablation, the glacier advances; when ablation surpasses accumulation, the glacier retreats. Understanding the glacier budget is crucial for assessing the impacts of climate change on glacier dynamics and sea-level rise.
What happens to slate when it turns into magma?
it melts
What two process transitions cloud to glacier?
The two process transitions from cloud to glacier are condensation and deposition. In condensation, water vapor in the atmosphere cools and transforms into liquid droplets, forming clouds. When temperatures drop further, especially at high altitudes, water vapor can undergo deposition, directly converting into ice crystals that accumulate, eventually forming glaciers as these crystals compact and transform over time.
What happens after a glauber's salt is exposed?

What often happens after you spot a cumulonimbus cloud?
The cloud starts turning clockwise then turns into a funnel
What happens if a cloud touches a cold mountain top?

What happens to a drop of water in a cloud?
A drop of water in a cloud can either evaporate, condense into a larger droplet, or collide with other droplets to form rain. It undergoes constant changes in temperature and pressure as it moves through the cloud, eventually leading to precipitation if it becomes heavy enough.
What happens when the glacier melts in a cirque?
the glacier dropped small rocks as it melted. An erratic is a large boulder left behind after a glacier has melted
