Life cycle of a snowflake

very interesting. Initially, one will have a flat hexagonal shape, only 0.1 millimeter in diameter.

-4 to -20 degrees Celsius is the temperature needed to create a snowflake and the phenomenon of snow falling and the life cycle of a snowflake is extremely interesting.

Initially, a snowflake will have a flat hexagonal shape, only 0.1 millimeter in diameter. Its shape began to emerge due to the intermolecular force of hydrogen bonding in water (H 2 O).

When the water freezes into hexagonal crystals, snowflakes begin to grow bigger and have a star-shaped appearance depending on temperature, wind and humidity.The lower the temperature (below -5 degrees Celsius), the more snowflakes get bigger.

Glaciers or glaciers are made up of melted snow and freeze back, accumulating over time creating blue lakes of ice.
