Small city, BIG ammenities! That is Hidalgo, Texas. The City of Hidalgo is located on lands settled by Spanish -colonizer Jose de Escandon in 1749, as an adjunct to the new settlement of Reynosa, both part of colonial Spain until 1821. The desert settlement was mainly involved with cattle grazing for some 150 years.
When something changes phase from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas, it takes energy to break the intermolecular interactions. These interactions between the water molecules are what make it solid. When you have ice, these interactions are strongest, which is why ice is hard.
that water has an anomalously high melting and boiling point; that solid water or ice is less dense than liquid; and that water has a high surface tension. Melting and Boiling Point of Water Phase changes in matter result because of a change in the translational motion of molecules. A solid is a solid because its molecules are stuck in place.
