Ice is water in its frozen, solid form. Water freezes at zero degrees Celsius. Expanding water molecules create pressure, breaking rocks. Ice floats due to its lighter density than liquid water
Ice spikes are upward-projecting ice formations in frozen water. Bally-Dorsey model proposed in early 20th century, still widely accepted. Natural spikes form in containers like bird baths and pet bowls. Can grow into various shapes including ice candles and inverted pyramids
Recrystallization purifies compounds by dissolving them in saturated solutions. Single-solvent method uses minimum solvent to form crystals. Multi-solvent method adds second solvent to separate compounds. Hot filtration removes impurities while preserving compound solubility. Seeding initiates crystal growth using pure compound or scratching
Precipitation is water falling to Earth's surface due to gravity. Forms through evaporation and condensation in warm air. Temperature, clouds, and winds determine precipitation type
Elemental Powers originate from dragons and are passed down through generations. Seven Source Dragons are the primal progenitors of all elemental powers. Creation, Darkness, Destruction, and Golden Power are main elemental essences
Clear ice creates stunning, artisanal cocktails. It melts slower than cloudy ice. Preserves carbonated drinks' bubbles better
