What is called when you freeze? When you freeze, process is called freezing or solidification, which is phase change from liquid to solid when temperature drops below freezing point. In physics, freezing is exothermic process where liquid loses heat and molecules slow and form solid crystal structure, for water freezing point is zero Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit. In biology, when human freezes or feels very cold, condition may be called hypothermia if core temperature drops dangerously low, or frostbite if tissue freezes. In psychology, when you freeze under stress, it is called freeze response, part of fight flight freeze fawn trauma responses, where you become immobilized. In computing, when system freezes, it is called system freeze or hang. In everyday language, when you freeze you are said to be frozen, chilled, or frozen stiff. If you freeze water, you are freezing it. So term is freezing or solidification, and in medical context hypothermia or frostbite, in psychology freeze response.
