Daily 🌏 Geography: Ice crystal effect
🌏 What is the ice crystal effect
The glaciation effect is a process by which ice crystals grow in a cloud where ice crystals and supercooled water droplets coexist.

🌏 The principle of the ice crystal effect
In clouds with ice crystals and supercooled water droplets, because the saturated water vapor pressure on the ice surface is smaller than that on the supercooled water surface, when the actual water vapor pressure in the air is greater than the saturated water vapor pressure on the ice surface and less than the saturated water vapor pressure on the water surface, the supercooled water droplets will decrease due to evaporation, and the water molecules will continue to transfer from the water droplets to the ice crystals, and the ice crystals will increase due to condensation.
