  2. Water cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle

    The water cycle is powered from the energy emitted by the sun. This energy heats water in the ocean and seas. Water evaporates as water vapor into the air. Some ice and snow sublimates directly into water vapor. Evapotranspiration is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil. The water molecule H

  3. Sea ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_ice

    Air volume fraction during ice growth period is typically around 1–2 %, but may substantially increase upon ice warming. [18] Air volume of sea ice in can be as high as 15 % in summer [19] and 4 % in autumn. [20] Both brine and air volumes influence sea-ice density values, which are typically around 840–910 kg/m 3 for first-year ice. Sea ...

  4. Ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice

    The amount of energy consumed in breaking hydrogen bonds in the transition from ice to water is known as the heat of fusion. [12] [8] As with water, ice absorbs light at the red end of the spectrum preferentially as the result of an overtone of an oxygen–hydrogen (O–H) bond stretch.

  5. Brinicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinicle

    A brinicle (brine icicle, also known as an ice stalactite) is a downward-growing hollow tube of ice enclosing a plume of descending brine that is formed beneath developing sea ice. As seawater freezes in the polar ocean, salt brine concentrates are expelled from the sea ice, creating a downward flow of dense, extremely cold, saline water , with ...

  6. Water vapor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor

    The percentage of water vapor in surface air varies from 0.01% at -42 °C (-44 °F) [15] to 4.24% when the dew point is 30 °C (86 °F). [16] Over 99% of atmospheric water is in the form of vapour, rather than liquid water or ice, [17] and approximately 99.13% of the water vapour is contained in the troposphere.

  8. Brine rejection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brine_rejection

    The new water partially freezes within the pores of the ice, increasing the solidity of the ice. As sea ice ages and thickens, the initial salinity of the ice decreases due to the rejection of brine over time. [1] While the sea ice ages, desalinization occurs to such a degree that some multiyear ice has a salinity of less than 1 PSU. [2]
