Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A newborn snowflake that falls out of the sky doesn't stay that way for long. As soon as it lands on the snow surface it begins a rapid process of change. Once again, just like people, as a snowflake ages, its beautiful, angular shape becomes progressively more rounded through time and it forms bonds with its neighbors. In people, it's called growing up; in the snowpack it's called "sintering" - forming bonds with neighboring crystals to create the fabric of the snowpack. As sintering progresses, the snow becomes denser and stronger, which we call "settlement." 3, record 1, English, - sintering
