Document Summary
Mainly in oceans, ice is second largest, least amount in rivers: briefly describe the hydrologic cycle. Sea ice traps the heat (insulates it), the air above the water gets colder. Without sea ice, the heat rises and the air and water temperature are equal. Below 4 degrees celsius the hydrogen bond stays in place and water expands. Temperature is a measure of how fast the molecules in a substance are moving. Latent heat is the energy needed to change states. Sensible heat: what we sense from different temperatures. Latent heat: the energy needed to change states: describe the thermostatic effect of ice. Still some ice in the summer of antarctica, either adding or removing energy: how does the density of fresh water change as temperature deceases from. Thick mass of ice that forms over land from accumulation, compaction, and recrystallization of snow: briefly describe the transformation of snow into ice. Colder up higher, they only exist at high elevations.
