Some microorganisms can thrive at and/below freezing point (0 degrees for water). They live in high mountains or the sea.
Pathogens in food such as campylobacter jejuni, listeria monocytogenes, yersinia enterocolitica, aeromonas hydrophilia and penicillum are examples of microorganisms that survive below 0 degrees Celcius.
The soil located on top of a mountain differs essentially from lowland soils due to the process of their origin and their morphological and chemical characteristics.
An example of refraction<span> is when </span>waves<span> approach a straight shoreline at an angle. The part of the </span>wave<span> crest closer to shore is in shallower water and moving slower than the part away from the shore in deeper water. The </span>wave<span> crest in deeper water catches up so that the </span>wave<span> crest tends to become parallel to the shore.</span>
Blood clots will do this. Cutting off blood flow while also increasing blood pressure. Also, if the viscosity (thickness of the blood) is thick which will slow down the flow and cause the body to use more effort to pump blood.
