Melting

The video explains the seasonal changes in the Arctic, where the land and seas are initially frozen. As summer arrives, the warmth from the sun melts the ice, turning it into liquid water that flows into streams and rivers. This melting process supports the growth of plants and makes it easier for animals to find food and stay warm.

What role does the sun play in the melting of ice?

Describe the changes that occur in the Arctic environment after the ice melts.
