Snow Flake Fractals
The snowflake, when viewed through a photomicroscope demonstrates how ice crystals form along structure parameters unherent in water molecules. The shape itself changes relative to the temperature and humidity in which it formed. The crystalline structure of water exhibits a six-sided symmetry ergo why snowflakes typically generate 6 nearly identical arms. Colder temperatures augment this standard and can result in triangular compositions. Additionally, even colder temperatures enable needles to form which are elongated columnar crystals which froze more rapidly. When the water is supersaturated with mineral content, the dendrtic branching occurs fractally relative to the external forces acting upon the planar object.
