[True or False] 4 True [Statement] 
Melting snow cools the nearby air. True. To change from solid (ice) to liquid (water), the snow has to increase its thermal energy by absorbing heat from its surroundings including the air. The changes from solid to liquid, liquid to gas and solid to gas are phase changes that require added energy. The opposite processes (liquid to solid, gas to liquid, gas to solid) are phase changes that release energy. Water vapor (gas) condensing to water droplets (liquid) forms clouds and can release energy.
