dew point
(redirected from Frost point)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

dew point

Temperature at which the air becomes saturated with water vapour. At temperatures below the dew point, the water vapour condenses out of the air as droplets. If the droplets are large they become deposited on plants and the ground as dew; if small they remain in suspension in the air and form mist or fog.

Along the way to Frost Point lies a sand dune and a creek feeds the adjacent salt marsh.
These foundations are dug down into the ground past the frost point and then either a concrete slab is poured or wooden posts are used.
