WHAT MAKES THEM FRACTALS?
As stated in the index page, some examples of fractals found in nature include coastlines, mountains, waves, and bushes. Why are they fractals? Here are some explanation to help you understand the concept of fractals. As you recall, a fractal is a design of infinite details. It is created using a mathematical formula. No matter how closely you look at a fractal, it never loses it detail. It is infinitely detailed, yet it can be contained in a finite space. Here are brief explanations on why these things found in nature are fractals. If you understand this, it will help you understand the basic of other complicated fractals. • Mountains and hills: They are fractals because of their roughness is actually the same at different levels of detail. • Waves on a lake: They are extremely complex fractals, consisting of nested pattern of smooth and rough areas that continues as you look closer and closer. • The fractal bush: This is a common fractal. It is know for its braches because it continu
