In the winter months, water in a pond changes from a liquid to a solid since:

• Heat energy is removed and the molecules move closer together forming a solid.

• Heat energy is gained and the molecules move closer together forming a solid.

• Heat energy is removed and the molecules slide past one another.

• Heat energy is gained and the molecules move quickly past one another.

One crisp morning in December after a rainstorm, icicles were observed on tree branches outside. What choice below would most accurately explain this phenomena?

• The region received rainfall overnight and the temperature remained steady, causing ice crystals to form on the branches of trees.

• The region received rainfall overnight and the temperature increased overnight, causing ice to form on the branches of trees.

• The region received rainfall overnight and the temperature decreased overnight, causing rain water to freeze onto the branches of trees.

• The region received rainfall overnight that suddenly froze to the trees due to warm air in the atmosphere.
