Fractal Frosting

Written by

in

At low humidity levels, water droplets evaporate too quickly for frost regions to interact.

$At intermediate humidity levels, the spreading frost forms fractal patterns as evaporation and the frost chain reaction compete.$

At high humidity levels, evaporation is slow enough that a frozen droplet can use water vapor from its neighbors to grow frost spikes that instantly freeze neighboring areas when they touch.
