Question

A car owner decides to leave his car outside on a cold winter day. the next morning, the driver noticed ice on the windshield, a product of deposition. choose the best reason explaining this phenomenon. what happened?

Answer 1

Deposition occurs when water vapor in the air turns into a solid and is deposited onto a surface. When the air temperature is below the freezing point of water, any water vapor that comes into contact with a surface will freeze. In this case, the water vapor in the air likely condensed onto the cold surface of the windshield and froze, forming ice.
