Problem & solution
Because the temperature in the room began to rise, the ice cube sitting on the counter started to lose its solid shape. As a result of the heat, the molecules in the ice began to move faster and spread apart. Consequently, a small puddle of water formed around the base of the cube. Since the air stayed warm for over an hour, the ice eventually vanished completely, leaving only a wet spot behind. Therefore, the change in temperature was the direct reason the solid turned into a liquid.
