Question

The atmospheric temperature decreases when snow starts melting because the snow releases thermal energy from the atmosphere to melt. Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The thermal energy gets absorbed!

Hope this helps :))

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

This assertion is false

Explanation:

It can be a said that when snow melts to liquid, then at that phase certain amount of energy was needed to change it from its solid state to liquid. The energy needed is given as:

Q=mL

Where m is the mass of snow.

L is latent heat of fusion.

So when there is the melting of snow from solid to liquid, thermal energy gotten from the surrounding gets absorbed so as to convert it into liquid phase.
