Frost is an amazing phenomenon

Beauty-winter brings not only fierce cold and blizzards. Sunny frosty days are often pleased with sparkling snow, sleigh run and openwork frost.

What is frostbite?

At many people, the heart froze with admiration, when one morning, looking out of the window, we saw a fairy-tale picture - trees and wires covered with a snowy crystalline bloom. This picture is drawn by frost. What is this natural phenomenon? The meaning of the word "hoarfrost" in itself is already sounding suggestive of frost. And although he has a few interpretations: it's snowballs, and a thin layer of ice covering the ground, and metal objects, and even a fog of vapor in the damp cold weather - but in this article we'll talk about those bizarre snow-ice crystals of ice that grow on thin Lengthened objects, such as branches of trees and shrubs, antennas, cables and much more. In our case, frost is, simply speaking, the deposition of snow ice.

Education process

How is the birth of crystals of frost? This process is so till the end so far
And is not understood. Crystalline deposit is formed due to the transition of water vapor and fog to a solid state. Microdrops grow on objects, each other, drawing openwork and intricate landscapes. Frost is a mysterious phenomenon: the life of crystals is short, their size and shape are constantly changing. When the temperature approaches zero, some sharply decrease in size, while others add to the growth! Within 10 minutes, it is sometimes possible to observe complete recrystallization and, accordingly, a change in the pattern. At low temperature indices, structural changes are almost imperceptible.

Necessary factors for the emergence

Frost is an education that is observed mainly in frosty weather. More often at -15 degrees Celsius. But just low temperature is not enough - another factor necessary for the emergence of this natural phenomenon is fog or haze, that is, water vapor in the air should be kept in large quantities. A weak wind also contributes to the growth of a "fluffy fur coat" on trees. All these changing conditions affect the beauty and pretentiousness of the drawings of frost. Along with changes in the weather, more and more patterns are emerging. And if you are not an economic man who often suffers from such a phenomenon (it leads to a different kind of accidents), and the poet (even if just in the shower), then the ornate and bizarre pictures outside the window that wrote the hoarfrost are exactly what Inspire you to new creations and bring a touch of beauty into everyday life.
