Change in state (or phase) of waterAddition or loss of heat is required tochange from one state to another.boilingGasTemperature 1006/Fall00 night/H20 heating curve.JPGhttp://nsdl.org
States of matterStamp your answers.A change of state does not mean a change in mass.TrueFalseSolids can only melt with heat.Truehttp://nsdl.orgFalse

Stamp your answerDoes the size of an ice cubeaffect the temperature at whichit freezes?Yeshttp://nsdl.orgNo
Misconception: The more water thereis to freeze, the lower thetemperature is required to freeze it.Formative Assessment:“Freezing Ice” (Vol. 2)Instead: The temperature of the freezing pointis independent of the amount of liquid.http://nsdl.org
Density is the mass perunit volume of asubstance.Photo: www.dkimages.comBuoyancy is the force of aliquid pushing up to keepsomething afloat.http://nsdl.org
True or False: Stamp your answerWater expands as it freezes becausethe molecules become larger.Truehttp://nsdl.orgFalse
Misconceptions aboutDensity & BuoyancyFloating or sinking is based on an object’s weight.Water expands as it freezes because themolecules become larger.Instead:Floating or sinking is based on an object'sdensity.Water expands as it freezes because themolecules are locked into place in a crystallinestructure.http://nsdl.org

Let’s pause forquestions fromthe audience .http://nsdl.org
Ice formationIce on land is usually fromprecipitation, unless it is freezingwater that is present in saturatedsoil.Ice forming on water develops atthe liquid surface of thewater and therefore on thebottom of any ice layer at thesurface.http://nsdl.org
Geography of IceLand-based ice: ice sheet ice field glacier ice streamA glacier in the Transantarctic nsdl.orgIce on/in the ocean: ice shelf ice floe sea ice icebergRoss Sea ice edge, 1957http://photolibrary.usap.gov/index2.htm

Studying Ice CoresPhoto: Robert R Stewart,Texas hy-book/evidenceforwarming.htmhttp://nsdl.orgIce Cores: Trap gases and windblown materials Can show layering,especially dust layersin dry seasons Some date back toalmost 800,000 yearsbefore present
Effects on sea level: Land ice vs. sea iceLand-based ice is perched above sealevel. If it melts, the water drainsdownward, potentially adding water intothe ocean. The water that reaches theocean will thereby raise sea level.Photo: JasonBox, Byrd Polar Research CenterSea ice is already floating(displacing its mass) and it wasformed from sea water. Meltingof sea ice will not raise sea levelappreciably.Photo: Zee Evans, NSF
