Why will spraying fruit trees with water before a frost help to protect the fruit from freezing?
To Explain:The reason for spraying fruit trees with water to prevent them from freezing.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Heat is released when a liquid is converted to its solid form.
The spraying fruit tree with water is done before a frost in farms. This prevents the tree from freezing. The heat is released from the water that is sprayed over the fruit tree, when it freezes. The temperature of the tree and the air around the tree is increased by this released heat or energy. This prevents the freezing.
Conclusion:
With the spraying of water on fruit tree, temperature is increased and this temperature prevents the fruits/tree from freezing.
