Snow and Ice

First of all, Japan is a pretty long country from north to south. The northernmost point is on the same parallel as BC, and nearly to the Yukon in Canada. I'm from BC Canada, and I can assure you that it snows here.

California is also a fairly large place. You can see snow in places like Redding.

Japan also has a mountainous landscape. Mountains create what is called a 'rain shadow' where clouds get caught in the mountains and dump plenty of precipitation on the windward (upwind) side, and almost none of the leeward (downwind) side of the mountains. Due to the high altitude, close to the mountain itself you often get snow, as opposed to rain.

because the ice will first absorb heat while transitioning from 0 deg ice into 0 deg water, and then absorb some more while this 0 deg water then reaches temperature equilibrium with the liquid in the drink. If you only use water you'll only get that last equilibrium heat absorbtion.

Drinking ice water alone is unlikely to make you hyper. However, if you consume excessive amounts of caffeine or sugar with the ice water, it could potentially contribute to increased alertness or hyperactivity.

During a blizzard, temperatures can drop below freezing and can vary depending on the region and the severity of the storm. In extreme cases, temperatures can plummet well below 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-17.8 degrees Celsius), especially in polar regions or during severe winter storms.

Walking on fresh snow can be easier or more difficult depending on the texture and depth of the snow. Fresh, fluffy snow can provide a soft and cushiony surface to walk on, whereas wet or compacted snow may be more difficult to walk through. Additionally, deep snow can require more effort and energy to walk through compared to shallow snow.

Adding salt to water decreases the freezing point of the solution. This is due to the salt disrupting the formation of ice crystals in the water, requiring a lower temperature for freezing to occur.

To conduct an experiment to demonstrate this, you would need two containers of equal volume filled with water. In one container, add salt to the water and mix it well. Place both containers in the freezer and monitor the temperature at which each container's water begins to freeze. The container with salt added will freeze at a lower temperature than the pure water.

Holding a piece of ice in your hand for an extended period can lead to frostbite, where the cold temperature causes damage to the skin and underlying tissues. It can result in redness, numbness, blistering, and potentially permanent damage if not treated promptly. It's best to use a barrier like a cloth or glove when holding ice to protect your skin.

Ice cream made from lemonade will melt at room temperature in approximately 15-20 minutes, but this can vary based on the specific recipe, temperature of the room, and how much air is incorporated.

The mountain is covered with snow due to low temperatures at higher altitudes where the snow sticks and accumulates. As the temperature drops, the water vapor in the air freezes and falls as snow, gradually covering the mountain peaks. Snow can also be blown onto the mountain by strong winds, further coating its surface.

The center or axis of a glacier generally moves the fastest when the glacier is moving by internal plastic flow. This is due to the greater pressure and thickness of ice at the center, causing it to flow more readily than the slower moving edges and margins of the glacier.

Clean snow reflects more sunlight, while dirty snow absorbs more sunlight due to the presence of particles, which causes it to melt faster. Additionally, impurities in dirty snow can act as insulators, trapping heat and accelerating the melting process.

Glacial drift is the term for all sediments of glacier origin.

When new snow is added to a glacier faster than the rate at which ice and snow melt, the glacier gets larger because the accumulation of new snow exceeds the loss from melting. This process contributes to glacier growth and expansion.

by using salt as more than 1/3 part part of water the snow will automatically start melting

No, yetis are believed to be mythical creatures that are usually associated with the Himalayan region in Asia, not the Arctic. The Arctic is home to animals like polar bears, Arctic foxes, and walruses.

The sweating effect you see on your ice-cold lemonade in the summer is due to condensation. When the cold drink comes into contact with the warm, humid air, the moisture in the air condenses on the cold surface of the glass, creating tiny droplets of water on the outside.

When you walk on ice, there is less friction between your shoes and the ice surface, causing you to slip. This lack of friction makes it harder for your shoes to grip the ice, leading to slips and falls. It is important to wear appropriate footwear with good traction to reduce the risk of slipping on ice.

Khione (Χιονε) was goddess of ice and snow.

If they freeze on the way to hitting the earths surface, they are called sleet. You can tell the difference between hail (which freezes before it leaves the cloud) is that sleet bounces when it hits the ground. You are talking about weather, right?

An average annual snowfall in the plains of Yellowstone is about four meters, but places in the mountains can get about twice that.

It can also vary quite considerably from year to year.

Snow removal at hill stations typically involves using snowplows to clear the roads and spreading salt or sand to improve traction. In some cases, snowblowers or graders may also be used to remove large quantities of snow efficiently. Additionally, road crews often work around the clock during heavy snowfalls to keep roads passable and safe for drivers.

To start an electric-start snow blower, ensure the snow blower is on a flat surface, engage the choke if needed, turn the key in the ignition to the "on" position, and then press the electric start button until the engine starts. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions in the user manual for specific guidelines on starting your snow blower.

It depends on the temperature of its surroundings. Ice will melt more quickly in a warmer environment and more slowly in a cooler environment. Other factors, such as the size and shape of the ice, can also influence how quickly it melts.
