Answers

Answered by barmanripan13

Answer:

the density of ice is lower than water, so ice floats on water

Answered by naghmashahid03

Explanation:

Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. ... The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top. One consequence of this is that lakes and rivers freeze from top to bottom, allowing fish to survive even when the surface of a lake has frozen over.
