In the cold season, when the temperature drops below zero, many interesting and surprising phenomena can occur. 1 . Frozen soda When it’s cold outside, it seemed habitual sparkling water can acquire just magical properties. The trick is simple: take a sealed bottle of soda and put it for several hours in the snow and then open and look what an unusual shape will be located in a bottle of liquid. As a rule, pure water freezes at zero temperature, however ingredients added to soda water lower its freezing point. As a result, when you open chilled bottles of soda automatically reduces its internal pressure and small bubbles of carbon dioxide are released. Seeking out they turn into tiny ice crystals, forming frosty and tasty liquid. This method also works with alcohol or drinks based on it. However, the stronger the alcoholic drink, the colder it should be outside, because, for example, clean alcohol freezes only at a temperature of minus 114 degrees Celsius. If you decide on this experiment – for experiments it is better use not a plastic, but a glass or aluminum bottle. In addition, diet sodas (no content) sugar) will not bring the desired effect. 2. Boiling water Maybe play with boiling water in cold, windy weather – not the smartest way spend a day. However, the result can be impressive, if you are careful, the temperature difference between air and water will be big enough. Ideal if the thermometer drop below 34 degrees C because cold dry air can magically turn boiling water into unusual snow. Frosty air is so dense that its molecules leave little places for water vapor molecules. In this way, the vapor is deposited, clinging to microscopic particles of sodium and calcium in the air, thanks to which snowflakes are formed. 3. Square tires in frosty the weather inside the car tire drops air pressure, this loss leads to the fact that the tires change their shape. Usually when the car starts to move, the air in the tires warms up and they take their original form, but at a temperature of minus 30 C this not so fast. As a result, drivers sometimes have to ride on not quite round wheels for several hours. Not to become a victim of thorny skating, in winter, mechanics recommend Be sure to check the tire pressure. 4 . Ice Splits Usually after a sharp cooling, the ice cover greatly expands the cracks in ground, which leads to ice splits. Although ice splits sometimes may cause small earthquakes, their effects are localized and therefore tremors are rarely recorded. However similar a natural phenomenon can cause a noisy split of ice in the lakes and the rivers. 5 . Ice Frogs Amazing frogs living in northern America in the cold season can freeze to solid, crystalline state, and with the advent of the thaw – come to life. This miracle of “resurrection” is understandable. The fact is that everything frogs are by nature cold-blooded animals. Exactly these ice frogs just comfortably adapted to sharp temperature differences. To survive in a frozen state, in their the body activates the mechanism of “frozen stupor” in which the main role is played by the liver, which breaks down glycogen into glucose (sugar). Sugar in their bodies behaves like antifreeze, preserving life in hard winter times. 6. Bubbles It would seem that here new? However, this is not about simple bubbles, but about frozen ones. When the temperature of the thermometer drops below 11C, you can participate in this interesting experiment. The trick is in order for the bubbles to freeze during their flight in air before touching the ground or another surface. Frozen bubbles in contact with any object break up, resulting in fragile and unusually beautiful shell. 7. Frozen language What do you think will happen if Does it occur to you to lick a frozen metal surface? Right! Of course, your language will freeze! But that’s why it not everyone knows what will happen. Turns out touching warm tongue to a frozen surface, the tongue cools faster than metal heats up. As a result, a wet tongue loses in this not equal battle, and ice wins. Do not believe? Check it out!
