What are the Antarctica summer pack ice limits?
The sea ice freezes in winter all around the Antarctic continent -- nearly doubling the size of the continent. During the summer months, all of this ice thaws, leaving the continent's beaches visible.
What is the procedure of frost erosion?
During winter, water freezes in joints and the 9 % volume increase from water to ice presses the joints apart. When the ice thaws in spring and summer, fragments released from the rock are free to move. Ice wedging is the main process by which screes are formed in mountainous and high-latitude terrains.
What causes black ice-?
Black ice is created when a little bit of water is on the ground and it freezes. It really isn't black but it is called that because it is known for being on pavement. Hope I helped!
When water freezes it change?
When water freezes, it turns into what we call ice. ice is a solid. no offense, but um stupid question.
What kind of weathering happens when ice forms in cracks in a rock?
When ice forms in cracks in rocks, the kind of weathering is known as mechanical weathering. The type of mechanical weathering that freezes and thaws is frost wedging.
How ice wedging can break apart?
Ice wedging can break apart rocks when water seeps in cracks of roads or rocks and continues freezes and thaws until the rock eventually creates a pot hole
Why are streets and highways damaged so much more in the winter months than the summer months?
When snow thaws, the water seeps into any cracks in the surface. Then when the road freezes again the expanding ice makes the cracks larger. Repeat the cycle a few times and you will have potholes.
When water around Antarctica freezes in its winter by how much does it increase the size of the continent in comparison to its summer?
The continent of Antarctica doubles in size, in winter when the sea ice surrounding it freezes.
Are frogs sensitive to ice?
Yes. That's why a frog hibernates in the winter. but one species of frog freezes itself for the whole winter. Shuts down it's heart, organs, everything! And when spring peeks around the corner, it starts to thaw and when warm enough, everything turns in again. It's like a human trapped in a giant ice cube for the winter and then when spring comes, thaws and is still alive! ya, where not like that frog..
What happens to your spit in the Antarctic winter?
It freezes into a ball of ice before it hits the ground.
How does ice wedging break apart rock?
Water goes in a cracks. When it gets cold it thaws and freezes. It also turns into a crystal form. Then it takes a lot of space and cracks a rock.
What is ice wedging cause by?
When water freezes, it expands. This can cause rocks to crack or break, then the water thaws to create a visible gap in the rock. This is ice wedging.
