*Snow

*SnowSnow is form of precipitation in the

form of crystalline water ice, consisting of snowflakes that fall from clouds. Snow is composed of small ice particles. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. It can be in the form of ball due to melting and refreezing.

*Benefits and consequences

•Consequences:

•When have a heavy snowfall basic utilities like electricity, telephone lines and gas supply can also fail.

• Snow can make roads much harder to travel

• In “snow days” things like work and school are officially canceled

•Benefits:

•We have a lot of ways to travel across the snow, like, skis, snowshoes, and sleeds pulled by horses, dogs or other animals.

•We have some sports and other things we just can do with the snow

*Climate changes

*Climate changes can alter much the Earth's snow. Glaciers ( made of snow and ice) are melting because of the global warming and the climate changes and they can change from solid to liquid and back again, prolonged warming can results in observable changes across the landscape as snow and ice masses shrink or grow over time.

*Changes in snow can affect air temperature, sea levels, ocean currents, and storm patterns. For example when the glaciers melt there water goes to the sea and the sea level rise.
