Answer: Conduction

Explanation: As ice melts,more sunlight is absorbed,as more sunlight is absorbed,the atmosphere heats up,as the atmosphere heats up,more ice melts. This whole process is known as CONDUCTION.

Conduction occurs when there is different temperature between two materials, when there exist a transfer energy(i.e transfer from higher-energy atoms in the hot region to the lower-energy atoms in the cold region). When the atmosphere is heated up due to sunlight,there is a rise in temperature which makes the ice to melt due to transfer of warmth it absorbed from sunlight.

A clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]
inna [77]
This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.

There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.

If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that.  But the question doesn't give us the time. 

It depends on the material of the surface.  Was the clam dropped onto dirt ? 
Into a dumpster ?  Onto grass ?  Concrete ?  Styrofoam ?  Mud ?  The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.

I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher.  It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.
