regelation

These facts are the exact complements of those of "regelation;" for here, two moist surfaces of ice being brought into close contact, their liquid liberty is destroyed and the surfaces freeze together.

It is formed in water, and not from the cementing and regelation of the powdery crystalline snow, as is glacier ice.

Mr. James Thomson had referred regelation to the cold produced by the liquefaction of the pressed ice; but in the above experiment all pressure is not only taken away, but is replaced by tension.

It was moist and soft, in fact in a condition altogether favourable for the "regelation" of its granules.

The conclusion was afterwards experimentally verified by Sir William Thomson, and served to explain all the phenomena of regelation.
