Sea ice which 1) has formed on the submerged surface (i.e. the base) of an existing mass of sea ice and 2) is composed of columnar crystals due to the downward growth of the crystals into the water.
The splitting of rocks as the result of the freezing of the water contained in them. The individual fragment produced by this process is called a congelifract. (Also called frost riving, frost splitti
ng.)
(Rare.) The churning and stirring of soil as a result of repeated cycles of freezing and thawing. This includes such actions as frost heaving and surface subsidence during thaws. A body of material di
sturbed by frost action is called a congeliturbate.
A distinct soil micromorphology, resulting from the effects of freezing and thawing processes, in which coarser soil particles form compound arrangements.
A distinct soil micromorphology, resulting from the effects of freezing and thawing processes, in which coarser soil particles form compound arrangements. This fabric, found in cryosols, results from
freeze-thaw processes probably accompanied by Cryoturbation.
