No - ice can go straight to vapor without first melting. The process is known as "sublimation".

What degree does water boil and melt at?

Water boils when the temperature gets to 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees celsius. Water does not melt. It changes into a vapor-like fog and disappears into a gas.


What order of water cycle phase changes would an ice cube most likely go through when it is put into a glass outside in the Sun?

The ice cube would first melt into liquid water due to the heat from the sun (melting). The liquid water would then evaporate into water vapor (evaporation). Finally, the water vapor would cool and condense back into liquid water (condensation).


How can states of water affect the water cycle?

The states of water—solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor)—play critical roles in the water cycle. Ice and snow can store water in glaciers and polar regions, affecting runoff and water availability when they melt. Liquid water evaporates into vapor, contributing to cloud formation and precipitation, while vapor can condense back into liquid or freeze into ice, impacting weather patterns. Changes in temperature and climate can alter these states, influencing the overall dynamics of the water cycle.


Would ice cubes melt in hot water first or will the ice cubes freeze the water first?

If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.


How does melting point change as the water content of rocks increases?

As the water content of rocks increases, the melting point typically decreases. This is because the presence of water lowers the melting point of minerals in the rocks by acting as a flux that promotes melting. The addition of water creates a eutectic point where the rock will begin to melt at a lower temperature.

Is when ice changes into water vapor it must melt first?

Yes. In the case of ice, it should melt first, convert to liquid water and then change to water vapor. There is big difference in the temperature for the melting point of ice and boiling point of water.


How does snow changes to form water vapor?

Snow can melt and turn into water and evaporate, and then the water turns into water vapor.


How does snow change to water vapour?

Snow changes to water vapor through a process called sublimation. Sublimation occurs when a solid (snow) transitions directly to a gas (water vapor) without first melting into a liquid. This happens when snow is exposed to dry air and energy from sunlight, causing it to skip the liquid phase and turn directly into vapor.

How does ice to water to water vapor?

Heat causes the ice to melt into water and the water evaporates into vapor.

When water changes to ice what kind of changes has occurred?

because it melt


What will happen if you leave boiling water ice and tap water for a day in separate cups?

The boiling water will evaporate (turn to vapor). The ice will melt (turn to liquid) and then begin to evaporate (turn to vapor). The tap water will begin to evaporate (turn to vapor).


What happens if there is a lot of water present in the magma of a volcano?

The large amount of water would first increase the amount of magma, as it make it easier to melt rocks. Then the water vapor would help cause explosive eruptions.

Does water melt?

yes it can if it ice but if its plain water then no


What process occurs as pieces of ice sit in the sun?

the ice can melt and turn to water, or sublimation can occur and the ice turn to water vapor.
