Its so cold in Canada right now that the trees are exploding 馃く While the trees don't actually detonate, extreme cold can cause them to violently split apart in a way that sounds鈥攁nd sometimes looks鈥攍ike an explosion. The Science of the Split: The process starts inside the tree trunk where sap flows through the wood rings. When temperatures drop rapidly, this fluid doesn't just get cold; it freezes. Because sap is largely water, it expands as it turns to ice. Confined within the rigid structure
