Fractals are commonly used for digitally modeling irregular patterns and structures in nature. They are also very useful for image compression, producing an enlarged picture with no pixilation.

How do fractals explain nature?

Fractals are situations where the geometry seems best approximated by an infinitely "branching" sequence - used, for example, in modeling trees. For work on fractals that I have done as a theoretician, I recommend the included links. I just happen to have an original answer, and I want to make it known.

How are fractals used?

They are used to model various situations where it is believed that some infinite "branching" effect best describes the geometry. For examples of how I have employed fractals as a theoretician, check out the "related links" included with this answer. I hope you like what you see.
