Define the formation and the melting happen spontaneously

Reference no: EM13656740

Thermodynamics offers a way to interpret everyday occurrences. If you live in northern climates, one common experience is that during early winter, snow falls although then melts when it hits the ground. Both the formation and the melting happen spontaneously. How can thermodynamics define both of these seemingly opposed events?
