What happened when the river suddenly froze?

The video in the post will probably cause you to "crumble" when witnessed, then cracked, spilled into the shore .

is raging across the United States. And recently, the IFLScience site reported on the video shared by the US National Meteorological Agency in Burlington, Vermont about the Ausable River in Au Sable Forks, New York, frozen.

The most remarkable thing is that after about 2 hours of freezing, the ice has risen and quickly burst. Countless thick ice sheets filled the river and flooded the shore .

The video, however, only captures the scene for three hours - starting at around 12 noon and ending at 15 pm but made the viewer feel extremely surprised about this strange phenomenon.

But the question is, what happened?

The US National Meteorological Agency explained that, because the temperature dropped too low, the lake water froze.

And when the ice on the river hardens, the ice that accumulates causes ice jam.

At this time the river's normal flow was interrupted, the water quickly pushed the broken ice into many pieces, when it hit the bank, it would crumble smaller - feeling like the ice is overflowing.

Because the temperature drops too low, the lake water freezes.

According to experts, images of this river show us more about the strange natural phenomenon.

Remember in January 2017, a video recording the scene also made many people "gasp" when watching.

Accordingly, due to the extremely low temperature, the water in the lake freezes and the freezing waves "crumble" as they move slowly to the shore.
