Snow and ice in the cryosphere can originate directly from the atmosphere through processes such as snowfall and deposition of water vapor. This water vapor condenses into ice crystals or snowflakes before accumulating on the ground or other surfaces.
Water vapor, liquid water droplets, and ice crystals are the three states of water that can exist in the atmosphere.
Yes, water vapor is considered part of the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere encompasses all the forms of water on Earth, including water vapor in the atmosphere, liquid water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, and frozen water in glaciers and polar ice caps.
The six spheres of Earth science are the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), biosphere (life), cryosphere (ice), and geosphere (rock). Each sphere plays a role in Earth's interconnected systems and processes.
water
Bodies of water are not part of the atmosphere, but water vapor and water and ice in clouds are.
Yes, the process of ice melting into water is part of the water cycle. This phase change from solid to liquid, known as melting, occurs when ice is exposed to warmer temperatures. As the melted water evaporates or runoff, it enters the atmosphere and continues through the water cycle.
Atmospheric water is largely water vapor, the gaseous form of water. When water becomes liquid it forms clouds and fog. It eventually collects and becomes rain (liquid distilled water) or sleet or hail (solid ice) or snow or hoer frost (solid ice crystals of ice).Only water vapor can be considered part of the atmosphere, the others occur as the vapor leaves the atmosphere.
the ice expands the rock
Pluto is primarily composed of rock and ice, with a substantial amount of water ice, nitrogen, and methane. Its thin atmosphere consists of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide.

The Solid Form of Water that breaks rock is called "ice".
There is no ice on the moon because there is no water or atmosphere.
It is found in the atmosphere.

There is some water ice suspended in Neptune's atmosphere.
