Use in Spelling Bee
[edit]Does anyone know if this word has ever been used in the Spelling Bee? When I tried to spell it myself, I was WAY off. Who would have thought there's no "e" in ice? Zebov (talk|contribs) 04:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- No Zebov. The word 'icicle' is relatively easy to spell. Chickenlover84 (talk) 12:16, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
Amorphous?
[edit]Icicles usually look like glass. Is the water in a glassy (amorphous) phase, or is it a single or polycrystal? —Ben FrantzDale 03:23, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I do no know this for sure, but I have seen many icicles in my life. I think that its amorphous. Icicles grow when new water runs over them (mostly melting water). Melted ice/water is usually low on oxygen, and therefor makes very transparent ice. The new layer of freezing water has a very large surface, making the air in the water vaporize from the crystalline structure. 212.17.87.133 14:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Freezing rain, not icicles?
[edit]Is it my imagination, or are the first two images not icicles, but the results of freezing rain? I suppose they could look like icicles, but per the definition on the page, icicles are caused by melting by a heat source, then re-freezing where the temperature is lower. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.66.194.110 (talk) 01:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
