What happens to milk when you freeze it?

Answers:
I found an entire article answering and explaining you Q
here it is:
The freezing point of milk is usually in the range of
-0.512 to -0.550° C with an average of about -0.522° C. The freezing
point of water is 0° C. The freezing points of foods drop with the
addition of salts, sugars, and other things that dissolve. The freezing
points of beer, carrots, etc. are also below 0° C. I would suspect that
the freezing points of most products are even lower than milk (for
example, ice cream is frozen at least several degrees below zero), so it's
a small mystery that milk was the last thing to freeze in your freezer. I
can see how this would happen in a few situations:
1. Your freezer (even though a 1960 model) is extremely good at
maintaining a temperature just at 0° C slightly below, but greater than
0.5° C. This would freeze the water in your products, but not completely
freeze the milk. If you can turn down the temperature of the freezer, I
highly recommend it - for food safety and food quality reasons.
2. Your milk is in the middle of the freezer, closely surrounded
by other products. When the air flow inside the freezer is not able to
reach a product, such as in a very crowded freezer, things will not freeze
as well. This is probably the case - I can't imagine a 1960 freezer being
that efficient. This happens in my freezer at home when my roommates and
I cram it full and there is little airspace left.
3. Your milk is not typical. Is it possible the milk was not
from a large commercial dairy? If the milk has a higher solids or fat
content than normal milk, it would freeze at a lower temperature than
normal.
If you make sure the temperature of the freezer is less than -1° C, your
milk will freeze, definitely! You can check the temperature with a
thermometer to double check. If it doesn't freeze at a temperature lower
than -1° C, your milk is an enigma

it becomes ice milk!
It gets solid.
It turns solid.
And no--u dont get 15 points
ummm... it becomes solid.
And you don't get to give 15 points! Duh
u cant give 15 points.
It becomes solid.
Fools be stealing my answers. Baby you know you wanna pick mine.
It becomes disgusting and icy. Been there, done that.
Your brain stops.
it becomes frozen milk
When you freeze milk it becomes solid like an ice block and it likes to expand. My mom freezes her milk and out of ever 3 gallons she always has one that splits open. So when you decide to thaw it make sure it's in a bowl to catch all the milk that comes out while thawing. Also make sure to shake it cause it tends to seperate.
The milk seperates, and gets all icky and chunky with blobs of ice.... dont try it.
milk shake time
The water and the things solved in it get separated from the fat.
when this happened to me I thought it went bad but in actuality it just separated.The water and cream in the milk separated. It can still be used but its a a psychological thing, your eyes see spoiled milk and your mind thinks it is and its hard to get past it.
