If one lived in a hot country away from civilization, would it seem reasonable that water changes to a solid? What makes an occurrence reasonable?
I already looked through Chapter 3 in my Biology book and the answer isn't even in the book all together.

Um... Water becomes ice, and no because there isn't electricity for a freezer to freeze it so it just stays a liquid and eventually evaporate into the air from the temperature...?
Ooh. I get it (I think)...

No, because there isn't electricity for it to freeze.

Uh...
I'm not a biology teacher, but when water becomes a solid, what do we call it?
Does that happen in a desert where there's no electricity?
You already wrote it!!

Really? Thank you so much!

You're welcome! =)
The reasonability of an occurrence depends on several factors, including the physical properties and conditions involved. In the case of water changing to a solid (freezing), the reasonability can be determined by examining the freezing point of water and the environmental conditions.
Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) under normal atmospheric pressure. However, in extremely hot countries, where temperatures can rise well above 0 degrees Celsius, it may seem counterintuitive for water to freeze.
To understand whether water can freeze in such conditions, we need to consider factors like altitude, humidity, and the presence of extreme weather phenomena such as cold fronts or sudden drops in temperature.
Altitude: Higher altitudes generally experience lower temperatures. In a hot country with high altitudes, such as mountainous regions, it is possible for the temperature to decrease to the point where water can freeze.
Humidity: Water vapor in the air affects the likelihood of water freezing. Dry environments with low humidity can cause water to evaporate quickly, reducing its chances of freezing. However, in certain situations where humidity is high and temperatures drop rapidly, water can freeze.
Extreme weather phenomena: Unusual weather conditions, like cold fronts or sudden drops in temperature, can bring about freezing temperatures even in hot countries. These events can cause a rapid decrease in temperature, allowing water to freeze.
Considering these factors, it is technically possible for water to change to a solid state in a hot country away from civilization, although it may not be a typical occurrence.
Regarding your search in the Biology book, it is important to note that while Biology can provide understanding about the properties of water, the specific subject of water freezing is more closely related to Physics and Chemistry. To find information on this topic, you might want to consult textbooks or resources in those fields. Additionally, scientific journals, online databases, or even simple online searches can provide further insights into the freezing point of water and its behavior in different conditions.
