The formation of ice and snow over the pond

On the ice surface of the reservoir formed circles of different diameters. The scientific explanation for the formation of ice circles is that the bend of the river or over the underwater keys accelerated the flow of water crushes and twists formed ice crust, forming an ice disc. Then the rest of the ice on the surface of the water involved in rotation and sticks to the disk, which not only increases its size, but also gives a perfect round shape. Occurs mainly in waters with fairly strong current.
