What is fractal geometry?
I'm confused. Are snowflakes fractal geometry? Are there any other examples of fractal geometry and where can I find more information or definitions online or in books on this subject?

Fractals are rigid geometric shapes that can be split up into separate parts, and each of the parts is considered a smaller copy of the whole. Although they are considered mathematics many people are awed by the beauty of the images that are considered to be fractals. Most often they can be found within nature, specifically in plants, animals, water, and multiple renderings up in the sky. Here are few examples of fractals that can be found in everyday life:
*Snowflake
*Sea Shell
*Fern
*Peacock
*Pineapple
*Mountain Range
Additionally, fractals can also be found in various art renderings and computer graphics. Actually, the most frequent use of fractals in everyday life is within the area of computer science.
