Answer:

high temperature could melt the ice.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a liquid reach its freezing point, it will transform into a solid substance. (For water, this happened when the temperature reach 32°F [0°C] ). This is why many of the water on north American lakes turned into ice during winter.

The opposite happened when there is an increase in temperature. As the season changed into spring, the average temperature within the environment increases. The increase in temperature makes the ice can no longer maintain its solid form and start to turn back into liquid water once again.
