Snow and Ice

Water turns into snowflakes when the temperature drops below freezing, causing water vapor in the air to condense into ice crystals. These ice crystals then gather more moisture as they fall through the atmosphere, forming into intricate snowflakes before reaching the ground.

A hurricane forms over warm ocean waters, where the air is humid and unstable. As the warm air rises and cools, it condenses, releasing heat and forming thunderstorms. This process creates a low pressure system that continues to grow and organize, eventually developing into a hurricane.

No, it is extremely rare for it to snow in July in Oklahoma. July is typically one of the hottest months of the year in Oklahoma, with temperatures regularly reaching well above freezing. Snow in July would be highly unusual and not typical for the region.

If a town is shut in by snow, it means that the roads or transportation routes have been blocked due to heavy snowfall, making it difficult for people to leave or enter the town. This situation can lead to disruptions in daily activities, such as school closures, limited access to essential services, and challenges in clearing the snow to restore mobility. Emergency services and local authorities often work to clear the roads and provide necessary assistance during such snowstorms.

Snow is rare in Gangtok during October. The temperatures in Gangtok during this time typically range from 10°C to 20°C, with colder temperatures occurring at higher altitudes. It is more likely to experience occasional rain showers or fog during October in Gangtok.

Yes, blizzards can occur in Michigan, especially during the winter months. Blizzards are characterized by strong winds, low visibility, and heavy snowfall, making travel dangerous and impacting daily life in the region.

Yes, it does snow in certain parts of Australia during the winter months, particularly in the southern regions such as the Australian Alps and Tasmania. These areas receive regular snowfall and are popular destinations for winter sports enthusiasts.

Yes. It has snowed in North Dakota in every month except for July and August.

As you go higher in the atmosphere, the pressure of the air reduces. It's at its maximum near the ground, and zero in space. But under the Ideal Gas Law, in a gas, if all else remains equal, temperature and pressure are directly related. In other words, if pressure goes down, so does temperature. In meterology, this leads to the adiabatic lapse rate. To a first approximation, if you go up 100 metres, you will loose 0.638 degrees C in temperature. This holds true all the way up to the tropopause, which is boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The troposphere is where we live and the weather occurs.

So to cut a long story short, its colder up high.

But when air gets colder, it can hold less water. Clouds form and water falls out of the cloud. If its cold enough the water will fall as snow or ice.

The mountains that arc across the north of India are called the Himalaya, and contains the highest peaks on Earth, including Mt Everest, (8048 metres). At this height, the air will be 51 degrees colder than at sea level. If its 30 C in New Delhi, expect -20 on the top of Everest!

Snow accumulates on Earth through precipitation, where snowflakes form in cold clouds and fall to the ground. It can also accumulate through snowdrifts, where wind blows snow into piles or banks. Additionally, snow can accumulate through snowfall that gradually builds up over time during winter months.

Yes, it is possible to create heart shapes in the snow by intentionally maneuvering a vehicle in a controlled manner. An experienced driver with good control over their vehicle could potentially create heart shapes on purpose by carefully manipulating the steering and acceleration while driving in the snow. However, it's important to always prioritize safety and avoid any risky or dangerous driving behaviors.

Cyclone is a generic term for a low pressure system with counterclockwise rotation in the northern hemisphere or clockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere.

Cyclones can occur over both land and water, but tend to be stronger over water.

Polar bears are threatened by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, as they heavily rely on sea ice for hunting and breeding. The loss of sea ice reduces their access to food sources and disrupts their natural habitat.

No, Nigeria does not experience snowfall during the winter. The country is located in the tropics and has a typically warm climate throughout the year. Snow is extremely rare in countries near the equator like Nigeria.

Yes, it is rare but it has snowed in Ottawa in the month of June, though it is uncommon. The city has experienced snowfall in late spring due to unpredictable weather patterns and fluctuations in temperature.

People can sink in snow because snow is made up of loosely packed snowflakes that can collapse under a person's weight, causing them to sink. This is more likely to happen in deep, powdery snow or snow that has a weak underlying layer.

A water bottle...You really couldn't answer that on your own?

One type of Alpine glacier is a cirque glacier, which forms in a bowl-shaped depression on the side of a mountain. These glaciers are typically small and may be found at the head of a valley or on a mountainside.

The Upsala Glacier in Argentina is sometimes referred to as an "armchair glacier" due to its unique shape, resembling the shape of an armchair.

water is ice when you freeze it and ice is water when you unfreeze it and steam is water when it cools down and when you touch It you can fill it is water because it is wet and water is wet and ice is wet and sream is wet to thanks you for looking at this

Because heat from the sun is most spread at these points resulting in less heat reaching both poles, causing widespread ice and persistent wintry conditions

No, and it's not particularly close. See the related question for legitimate contenders.

Glaciers form U-shaped valleys due to their ability to erode and transport large amounts of rock and sediment. As glaciers move downhill, they carve and widen the valley floor, creating a broad and deep U-shaped profile. In contrast, rivers mainly erode the valley through the process of hydraulic action, which tends to create narrower and steeper V-shaped valleys.

A cloud or fog. Fog touches the ground, clouds dont.
