Short answer: it melts.
Slightly longer answer: sufficient energy in the form of heat is added to the ice. This energy goes into the particles as kinetic energy and allows them to start moving faster. Temperature is the measure of the speed of particles, so an increase in heat results in the faster movement of particles, which leads to an increase in temperature. Once the temperature reaches 0oC, the molecules break their crystalline structure and are free to move in a sort of "rolling" motion that is a characteristic of liquids.
Water changes from a liquid to a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point, which is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, water molecules slow down and form a solid crystal lattice structure, leading to the formation of ice.
When you take away the heat from the liquid, it turns into a solid.
At the molecular level, as the liquid loses energy (in this case, heat) the molecules slow down and eventually get caught in eachother's magnetic fields and snap together. Consequently, ice is formed.
Because of the unique configuration of H2O, the molecules snap into a particular arrangement, hexagons. This makes it take more room than it previously did without contraints. That is why the water expands as it freezes.

What item changes from liquid to solid?
Water changes from liquid to solid at 0 degrees Celsius.
When water melts from a ice cube it changes from a?
from a solid into a liquid.
What happens when water changes from a solid to a liquid to a vapor?
When water changes from a solid to a liquid, it undergoes melting. When it changes from a liquid to a vapor, it undergoes evaporation. These changes are driven by increases in temperature and energy levels.
When water changes into a solid it is?
When water changes into a solid, it is undergoing the process of freezing, where it transitions from a liquid state to a solid state at its freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius.
What 2 types of change occurs when water changes fro?
When water changes from a liquid to a gas, it undergoes two types of changes: a physical change called vaporization, where the liquid water molecules gain enough energy to escape into the gas phase, and a state change from liquid to gas.
How does a solid change from a solid to a liquid?
When water freezes it changes from a liquid to a solid. When water boils or evaporates it changes from a liquid to a gas.
When water changes from a solid to a liquid energy is?
Energy is used when water changes from a solid to a liquid.
How does water changes from solid to liquid?
water is a solid then it melts now it is a liquid
What happens to water when it changes from a liquid to a solid?
A LIQUID FREEZES TO SOLID
What are the three phases of water How does water change from one phase to another?
The three phases of water are solid (ice), liquid, and gas (water vapor). Water changes from solid to liquid through melting, where heat is added to break the bonds between water molecules. Water changes from liquid to gas through evaporation, where heat is added to increase the kinetic energy of water molecules until they escape into the air.
What item changes from liquid to solid?
Water changes from liquid to solid at 0 degrees Celsius.
When water melts from a ice cube it changes from a?
from a solid into a liquid.
What is the process called when water changes from solid to liquid?
The name for solid water is ice. It changes to a liquid when it melts.
What are the observable changes in freezing water?
liquid to solid
How are the state changes of water similar to the state changes in most other substances?
These changes of state are: solid to liquid, liquid to gas, gas to liquid, liquid to solid, solid to gas, gas to solid. The majority of substances have these state of matter changes.
How does the water cycle represent the changes in matter?
Solid, liquid, gas, liquid, solid.
What changes from liquid to solid?
water to ice
