| Comment |
Pure closed-system conditions, in which water is neither added to nor removed from the system, are sometimes referred to as "in situ freezing". Closed-system freezing of water-saturated soil causes expansion equal to about 9 percent of the original pore volume of the unfrozen soil. Inside closed systems, some redistribution of water may take place during freezing.
