At its commencement, the earth, pebbles and rocks, which may lie along the shore, and as far down into the sea as the congelation extends, are frozen into it.
Thus, the congelation of water expands it by a certain proportion of its volume, and beyond that it can have no effect.
In the condensation of the vapor which formed this snow one thousand degrees of latent heat become sensible, and then in the congelation of the clouds into snowflakes one hundred and forty degrees of heat are evolved.
In the condensation of the watery vapor one thousand degrees of heat are evolved, and in the congelation one hundred and forty degrees--an amount of heat which would boil three feet of cold spring water.
Then congelation would begin, and the first particles of ice formed would sink to the bottom, and as fast as the water became frozen at the top the ice would sink.
They are often observed to be coated on one side with mud, sand, or gravel frozen on to them, derived from shallows in the river on which they rested when congelation first reached the bottom.
That the sea is salt to render it of greater density, and by lowering its freezing point to preserve it from congelation to within a shorter distance of the poles, though admissible, scarcely meets the entire solution of the question.
The act of freezing; -- applied chiefly to the congelation of water; congelation of fluids.
Small roundish masses of ice precipitated from the clouds, where they are formed by the congelation of vapor.
The white particles formed by the congelationof dew; white frost.
If it be of tin, as is sometimes the case, the congelation goes on too rapidly in it for the thorough intermingling of its contents, on which the excellence of the ice greatly depends.
Then if thou art fortunate shall the fumes cease and our congelation will glitter incomparably and wonderfully, and thickening more and more it will sprout like the tender frost in a most amiable lustre.
Congelation and Circulation cometh next, when in the fourth Degree the blackness wears away, which, believe me, is a gallant sight.
Frozen rain, or particles of ice precipitated from the clouds, where they are formed by the congelation of vapor.
But surely this process of congelation must have a limit!
In the case of persons or animals drowned in sea water, a similar alteration of the point of congelation is observed, but in the reverse direction.
One gramme-molecule of the solute introduced into one litre of the solution lowers its temperature of congelationby 1.
Koryani has studied the ratio of the point of congelation of urine to that of a solution containing an equal quantity of chloride of sodium.
The inner tube is then emptied, care being taken to leave a few small ice crystals to serve as centres of congelation for the subsequent experiment, thus avoiding supercooling of the solution.
But the congelation and coagulation of a metaphor does not at all guarantee the necessity and exclusive justification of that metaphor.
During congelation it is brittle, so that the parts will separate by the stroke of a hammer; and by this means the form of its crystals may be discovered.
Therefore, this salt must have been in a fluid state of fusion, immediately before its congelation and crystallization.
It must also appear, that at the time of congelation of the fluid spar, those two contiguous portions had been differently disposed in the crystallization of their substance.
We frequently find in it much calcareous spar, or the terra calcarea aerata, which had been in a melted state by heat, and had been crystallized by congelation into a sparry form.
I had given, as I thought, a kind of demonstration, from the internal evidence of the stone, that granite had been in the fluid state of fusion, and had concreted by crystallization and congelation from that melted state.
If this be admitted, it will follow that we have no proof of any proper mineral concretion except that which had proceeded by congelation from the fluid state of fusion.
Hence the sudden rending of vessels, trees, mountain rocks, &c, upon the sudden congelation of water.
It has been determined, that at 39 degrees below zero of Fahrenheit's thermometer is the point at which the congelation of mercury takes place.
The absence of transparency, the various marks of air-bubbles, and the general roughness, so perfectly resemble the congelation of snow when half restored to fluidity, that M.
The sides of the Alps support a congelation of half-dissolved snow, which is different from the pure snow of the summits, and the ice of the lower glaciers.
Defn: Small roundish masses of ice precipitated from the clouds, where they are formed by the congelation of vapor.
Defn: A column of igneous rock formed by congelation of lava in the conduit of a volcano and later exposed by the removal of surrounding rocks.
Frost smoke, an appearance resembling smoke, caused by congelation of vapor in the atmosphere in time of severe cold.
Defn: The white particles formed by the congelation of dew; white frost.
When the water in the experiments above related of Major Williams had by congelation thrown out the plugs from the bomb-shells, a column of ice rose from the hole of the bomb six or eight inches high.
The red granite columns of St. Isaac's church are apparently transformed into spotless marble by thecongelation of moisture on their surface.
One of their annoyances is the congelation of their breath, and in the coldest weather the yemshicks are frequently obliged to break away the icicles that form around their horses' mouths.
In the coldest mornings there is sometimes a cloud or fog-bank resting near the earth, from the congelation and falling of all watery particles in the atmosphere.
The following observed circumstances exhibit the congelation of water throughout all its stages.
So that to the present day the power of steam, the cause of combustion and of congelation has in each instance remained unknown.
But the thermometer kept for several days between six and eight degrees below zero, and I was very happy in seeing the lethargic sleep continue, without having to fear congelation of the tissues.
Some hours after, congelation would supervene, and with it, impossibility of restoration to life.
These experiments naturally drew the attention of Mr. Cavendish to the phenomena of freezing, to the action of freezing mixtures, and the congelation of acids.
It became an object of great importance to determine the exact point of the congelation of this metal by accurate experiments.
He did not confine his views to thecongelation of water alone, but extended them to every case of congelation and liquefaction which he has ascribed equally to the evolution or fixation of latent heat.
He explained the phenomena of congelation exactly according to the theory of Dr.
