  2. Desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination

    Freezethaw desalination (or freezing desalination) uses freezing to remove fresh water from salt water. Salt water is sprayed during freezing conditions into a pad where an ice-pile builds up. When seasonal conditions warm, naturally desalinated melt water is recovered. This technique relies on extended periods of natural sub-freezing ...

  3. Frost weathering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_weathering

    The traditional explanation for frost weathering was volumetric expansion of freezing water. When water freezes to ice, its volume increases by nine percent.Under specific circumstances, this expansion is able to displace or fracture rock.

  4. Frost heaving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_heaving

    Photograph taken 21 March 2010 in Norwich, Vermont. Frost heaving (or a frost heave) is an upwards swelling of soil during freezing conditions caused by an increasing presence of ice as it grows towards the surface, upwards from the depth in the soil where freezing temperatures have penetrated into the soil (the freezing front or freezing boundary).

  5. Science fair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair

    A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.

  6. Snow patch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_patch

    It is a complex of processes that includes freezethaw action (weathering by the alternate freezing and melting of ice), mass movement (the downhill movement of substances under gravity), and erosion by meltwater which is the main agent of the surroundings' influence. [5] A seasonal snowpatch on the south east side of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia.

  7. Slush - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slush

    Often, solid ice or snow can block the drainage of fluid water from slushy areas, so slush often goes through multiple freeze/thaw cycles before being able to completely drain and disappear. In areas where road salt is used to clear roadways, slush forms at lower temperatures in salted areas than it would ordinarily.

  8. It’s time to thaw your turkey — here’s how to do it safely ...

    Instead, plan to thaw a turkey in the refrigerator. Place the turkey on a deep rimmed sheet tray or or a roasting pan lined with a wire rack, which will catch any leaks.

  9. Periglaciation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periglaciation

    Higher altitudes are associated with more periglacial activity due to colder temperatures, increased freeze-thaw cycles, and greater exposure to wind and snow accumulation. These conditions favor processes like frost heaving, solifluction, and ice wedge formation, which are hallmarks of periglacial environments.
