Question

how does the layer of ice slow down the complete freezing of the water in the pond ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Warm water generally gets more dense as it gets colder, and therefore sinks. This fact may lead you to believe that ice should form on the bottom of a lake first. But a funny thing happens to water as it gets even colder. Colder than 4° Celsius (39° Fahrenheit), water begins expanding and becomes less dense as it gets colder. As a result, close to freezing, colder water floats to the top and the warmer water sinks to the bottom. The density of water as a function of temperature can be seen in the plot on the right. Eventually, the coldest water, which has floated to the top of the lake in wintry conditions, freezes to form a layer of ice. Right when the water freezes to ice, the ice becomes significantly less dense than the water and continues to float on the lake's surface.

Answer 2

Answer:

The layer of ice slows down the complete freezing of the water in the pond because -

Explanation:

The ice layer act as an insulator so it slows down the complete freezing of the water in the pond  by cutting the contact from the cold weather.
