Look at a snow-flake. Ice freezes in patterns, straight lines and angles. It has to do with the shape water makes as it freezes and the outside of the spike freezing while the inside is still wet. If it …

2016年12月18日 · This morning as I fed my dogs I found the above pictured ice spike in their outdoor watering dish. The spike formed near the edge of the dish, was approximately 8-9 cm …

2018年2月22日 · Congratulations, you found an inverted pyramid ice spike, sometimes called an ice vase! The Bally-Dorsey model of how it happens is that first the surface of the water …

2018年12月31日 · $\begingroup$ My ice-cube is also not cube-shaped (due to the ice-tray) but look like this without the ice spike. I doubt that the air bubbles are trapped in some intrinsically …

In space, freezing outside in, the surface tension of water would probobly surround the ice as it freezes - so you wouldn't get round icecubs, but more organic shapes, maybe cloud like …

2014年5月1日 · $\begingroup$ The whole ice block has to be balanced, so the upwards force (gravity times density of water times volume of ice) must equal downward force, which is …

The wire cuts through the ice due to the high pressure it exerts, which lowers the melting point of the ice directly beneath it. The ice melts under the wire, allowing the wire to pass through. …
