In hydrology, snowmelt is surface runoff produced from melting snow. It can also be used to describe the period or season during which such runoff is produced. Water produced by snowmelt is an important part of the annual water cycle in many parts of the world, in some cases contributing high fractions of the annual runoff in a watershed. Predicting snowmelt runoff from a drainage basin may be a part of designing water control projects. Rapid snowmelt can cause flooding. If the snowmelt is then frozen, very dangerous conditions and accidents can occur, introducing the need for salt to melt the ice
What else can I help you with?
What is the physical change of carbon and snow disappears?
When carbon (soot) is applied to snow, it can absorb sunlight and cause the snow to melt faster. This is a physical change as the snow changes from its solid state to liquid water due to the presence of the carbon.
What is snow melt run off?
Snow melt runoff is the water runoff after the snow melts usually in the spring.
Will bright sunshine cause snow to melt?
Yes, bright sunshine can cause snow to melt by providing heat energy to the snow, causing it to change from a solid to a liquid state. The sunlight's energy is absorbed by the snow, increasing its temperature and leading to melting.
What causes snow to melt in spring?
Snow melts in spring due to warmer temperatures and increased sunlight. The heat from the sun warms the snow, causing it to melt into water. This process is also influenced by factors like air temperature and humidity.
Why do snow cones melt?
Snow cones melt because it is ice if ice is left outside of the freezer to long then it will get hot
Why does snow melt in a cooking pan?
Snow does not melt if placed in a cooking pan if that cooking pan is placed in the snow outside.There is nothing inherent about a cooking pan that will cause snow to melt, snow melts when it warms up - there has to be an application of heat. Heat causes snow to melt.

What is snow melt run off?
Snow melt runoff is the water runoff after the snow melts usually in the spring.
What is snow melt run-off?
Snow melt runoff is the water runoff after the snow melts usually in the spring.
Will bright sunshine cause snow to melt?
Yes, bright sunshine can cause snow to melt by providing heat energy to the snow, causing it to change from a solid to a liquid state. The sunlight's energy is absorbed by the snow, increasing its temperature and leading to melting.
Is the melting snow a reversible change or not?
yes it is. because you can freeze it and melt it
Rain and snow are the primary sources of what kind of water?
Rain and snow are both sources of precipitation. They soak in or melt in to the earth recharging fresh water stores.
Is walking on snow a physical or chemical change?
Walking on snow is a physical change because the snow remains as solid ice crystals and does not undergo any chemical reactions to form new substances.
How does sunlight melt snow?
it heats it up and it makes it melt
How do you get snow out of a rim?
Melt it!
What do snow do when it get warm?
melt
Can snow NOT melt?
yes it can
