Rain in the spring can sometimes freeze due to unseasonable temperatures
B
Snow consists of water in the frozen state and this water becomes rain when subjected to higher temperatures
C
The amount of water on Earth does not change and is cycled in an unending process despite its changing physical state
D
the amount of rain and snow changes due to the changing amount of water that cycles through Earth’s atmosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rising global temperatures as a result of climate change are causing water to evaporate faster. This is accelerating the water cycle, which could have a significant impact on our seas and on the continent, according to new research. Fresh ocean water is becoming fresher, salty ocean water saltier, experts say.

Detailed explanation-2: -The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. It is a complex system that includes many different processes. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow.

Detailed explanation-3: -When warmed by the sun, water on the surface of oceans and freshwater bodies evaporates, forming a vapor. Water vapor rises into the atmosphere, where it condenses, forming clouds. It then falls back to the ground as precipitation.
