Ice structure
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006438
The internal arrangement and characteristics of ice crystals within a larger body of ice, such as a glacier, sea ice, or an ice crystal. This includes aspects like crystal size, shape, orientation, and the presence of impurities or air bubbles. The ice structure influences the physical and mechanical properties of the ice, such as its strength and deformation behavior.
