Natural forms of moisture in the atmosphere. An important point to remember is that each time water changes state it either gives off or takes on heat energy. When ice melts it requires about 144 BTUs of heat to change 1 pound of ice to water with a temperature of 32Â°. This is called the heat of fusion.

Definition of BMP By Marios Alexandrou. BMP (short for bitmap) is a graphic format used internally by the Microsoft Windows graphics subsystem, and used commonly as a simple graphics file format on that platform. BMP files are usually not compressed, so they are typically much larger than compressed image file formats such as JPEG or PNG. Despite its shortcomings, the simplicity of BMP and its widespread use in Microsoft Windows and elsewhere, as well as the fact that this format is well-documented and free of patents, makes it a very common format. As such, many image programs are likely to be able to read in BMP files. Related Terms. GIF; JPEG or JPG; PNG; Other Definitions
