Is there a difference between 場が凍る and 場が凍り付く? Both seem to be in use. Both
are 自動詞/五段活用. An example sentence by yours truly:

> 教室で先生に「お前何言ってんだ」って言っちゃって場が凍った  
>  教室で先生に「お前何言ってんだ」って言っちゃって場が凍りついた

I have also heard 空気が凍る used in the same sense as well.

They basically mean the same, but 凍りつく gives an impression that the resulting,
frozen state is more firmly set and doesn’t easily melt. I believe the “up” in
“freeze up” adds a similar nuance compared to just “freeze”.
