I’ve always been curious but I can’t find much on it that isn’t just “HEE HOO ICE SOLID”
In: Chemistry
Water can be solid at room temperature, as long as it’s held at enormous pressures, such as when trapped inside a diamond lattice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_VII#Natural_occurrence
Different temperatures and pressures can result in many distinct kinds of water ice, as listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice#Phases
But if we’re talking about atmospheric pressure, we’re stuck with the familiar kind of water ice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Phase_diagram_of_water.svg
