Question

Which of the following locations would experience the highest rate of sublimation? Sahara Desert Amazon jungle Arctic ice cap Florida wetlands

Answer 1

Answer:

Arctic Ice Cap

Explanation:

Snow and ice sublime, although more slowly, at temperatures below the freezing/melting point temperature line at 0 °C for most pressures. The loss of snow from a snowfield during a cold spell is often caused by sunshine acting directly on the upper layers of the snow. Ablation is a process that includes sublimation and erosive wear of glacier ice.

Answer 2

Id say the best answer would be the Sahara. Sublimation is going from a solid to a gas. Imagine an ice cube, it would be so hot that it would go from ice to its gas form of water vapor, instead of melting into water. In the Amazon, it would most likely just melt. In the attic, it wouldn't change. And again, it would only melt in Florida. Hope this helps.
