ELI5 How Does Ice on Frozen Lake Support Weight Without Pillars or Struts?
Like the title says, how do can cars and semi’s drive across frozen bodies of water without supports?
Bridges require supports or some type of suspension to hold themselves and the weight up, yet ice can hold tons of weight without any special engineering.
Just need thicker ice for more weight, yet the bottom of the lake is still liquid
Is it just floating on top of the water?
