Sentences with phrase «masses of frozen water»

The mass of frozen water also contributes to the global climate, which is changing as Earth's temperature rises.

Not exact matches

I had to hack it out one tiny piece at a time and eventually soak it in a hot water bath to even loosen it enough to get it out of the processor as the blade had spun out a hollowed space under the frozen mass... anyway it was a huge pain, I would say heat the fruit up first

Discovered in 1978 by the United States Naval Observatory, Charon is the largest of Pluto's five moons and is only half the size of Pluto and one - eighth of its mass, with a surface dominated by a mixture of water ice and frozen ammonia.

The only sound to be heard was the rushing noise of the falls, as the mass amounts of water are too powerful to freeze.

I suspect that what was happening was that there was mass loss, but there was also thermal expansion of the ice, as melt water drained down through the ice and froze, depositing its heat of fusion and raising the temperature.

icing a sheet - like mass of layered ice formed by the freezing of water as it emerges from the ground or through fractures in river or lake ice

AGW climate scientists seem to ignore that while the earth's surface may be warming, our atmosphere above 10,000 ft. above MSL is a refrigerator that can take water vapor scavenged from the vast oceans on earth (which are also a formidable heat sink), lift it to cold zones in the atmosphere by convective physical processes, chill it (removing vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) or freeze it, (removing even more vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) drop it on land and oceans as rain, sleet or snow, moisturizing and cooling the soil, cooling the oceans and building polar ice caps and even more importantly, increasing the albedo of the earth, with a critical negative feedback determining how much of the sun's energy is reflected back into space, changing the moment of inertia of the earth by removing water mass from equatorial latitudes and transporting this water vapor mass to the poles, reducing the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and speeding up its spin rate, etc..

The strength of both of these annual fluxes during summer will have consequences for the salinity of the surface water mass of the Arctic Ocean and hence on the strength of the freezing cycle during the following winter.
