An example of water transferring from the atmosphere to the cryosphere is the process of snowfall in polar regions or on high-altitude glaciers. When the water vapor in the atmosphere cools down, it condenses into precipitation. If the temperature is below the freezing point, this precipitation falls as snow. The snow accumulates on the ice caps, glaciers, and other frozen surfaces that are part of the cryosphere.
