| One of the simplest fractal shapes generated by
iteration is the so-called Koch curve or 'snowflake curve'. With the help of computers,
simple geometric iterations can be applied thousands of times at different scales to
produce so-called 'fractal forgeries' – computer-generated models of plants, trees,
mountains, costlines, etc, which bear an astonishing resemblance to shapes found in
nature. |

remove the middle section.
4. Replace it with two lines the same length as the section you removed. 5. Do this to
all three sides of the triangle.
This is what is called a

And again
And again
Finally it turns into a snowflake.
