Jégcsavar

Jégcsavar is the Hungarian word for icicle. Icicles are naturally occurring formations of ice that typically hang from eaves, branches, and other structures where water can drip and freeze. They form when temperatures are at or below freezing, and water is present. As water drips, it begins to freeze, and successive drips add to the growing structure, creating the characteristic elongated, tapering shape. The process is a continuous cycle of melting, dripping, and freezing. The size and shape of an icicle can vary greatly depending on factors such as the rate of water flow, ambient temperature, wind, and the surface from which it is hanging. In some conditions, icicles can become quite large and heavy, posing a potential hazard. The formation of icicles is a common winter phenomenon in many parts of the world.
