Does moving water freeze at slower rate than stagnant water?
gpt
Yes! Freezing is a matter of removing energy, which could be either thermal (heat) energy or movement (kinetic) energy in this case. The more energy a water molecule has (warmer or moving), the more energy has to be removed before it will stay in one place (even tho the molecules are still actually vibrating a bit in the ice crystal structure!)
