Jäänmuodostusprosessiin
Jäänmuodostusprosessiin is the Finnish term for the process of ice formation. This occurs when water undergoes a phase transition from liquid to solid, a state change that is dependent on temperature and pressure. Under standard atmospheric pressure, water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). When water molecules lose kinetic energy, their movement slows down. At the freezing point, the attractive forces between water molecules, primarily hydrogen bonds, become strong enough to overcome the molecular motion, causing them to arrange themselves into a rigid crystalline lattice structure, which is ice.
The formation of ice is a thermodynamically driven process. As water cools, it releases latent heat of
