Escarcha

🧠 What does Escarcha mean?

Escarcha refers to the thin, white layer of ice crystals that forms on surfaces, such as grass, leaves, or windows, when the temperature drops below freezing. It is a delicate and often beautiful natural phenomenon that signals cold weather. The formation of escarcha occurs when water vapor in the air directly transforms into ice upon contact with a surface that is at or below the freezing point of water. This process is known as deposition or desublimation.
