  2. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density ( volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho ), although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume: [1] where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume ...

  3. Ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice

    The density of ice is 0.9167 –0.9168 g/cm 3 at 0 °C and standard atmospheric pressure (101,325 Pa), whereas water has a density of 0.9998 –0.999863 g/cm 3 at the same temperature and pressure. Liquid water is densest, essentially 1.00 g/cm 3 , at 4 °C and begins to lose its density as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal ...

  4. Melting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting

    Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance's temperature to the melting point. At the melting point, the ordering of ions or ...

  5. Magma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma

    Magma is produced by melting of the mantle or the crust in various tectonic settings, which on Earth include subduction zones, continental rift zones, mid-ocean ridges and hotspots. Mantle and crustal melts migrate upwards through the crust where they are thought to be stored in magma chambers or trans-crustal crystal-rich mush zones.

  6. Snow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow

    Ice dams on roofs form when accumulated snow on a sloping roof melts and flows down the roof, under the insulating blanket of snow, until it reaches below freezing temperature air, typically at the eaves. When the meltwater reaches the freezing air, ice accumulates, forming a dam, and snow that melts later cannot drain properly through the dam.

  7. Molecular solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_solid

    A molecular solid is a solid consisting of discrete molecules. The cohesive forces that bind the molecules together are van der Waals forces, dipole–dipole interactions, quadrupole interactions, π–π interactions, hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding, London dispersion forces, and in some molecular solids, coulombic interactions.

  8. Asthenosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthenosphere

    The asthenosphere shown at a subduction boundary. The asthenosphere (from Ancient Greek ἀσθενός (asthenós) 'without strength') is the mechanically weak [1] and ductile region of the upper mantle of Earth. It lies below the lithosphere, at a depth between ~80 and 200 km (50 and 120 mi) below the surface, and extends as deep as 700 km ...

  9. Glacier mass balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_mass_balance

    The snowpack's mass balance is the product of density and depth. Regardless of depth measurement technique the observed depth is multiplied by the snowpack density to determine the accumulation in water equivalent. It is necessary to measure the density in the spring as snowpack density varies.
