A group of students made a model to show one way that snow is part of
the water cycle. They made a model of land by placing soil in a sloping
tray. They then placed snow at the top of the tray. They kept the snow at a
temperature of 25 C and observed what happened. Which of the
following would the students most likely observe?
A. how snow changes to solid ice
B. how snow causes the soil to freeze
C. how snow melts and becomes runoff
D. how snow evaporates when it warms
