Answer:

The water, which is less dense than the rocks, will float. ... As water cools below 4°C, the hydrogen bonds adjust to hold the negatively charged oxygen atoms apart. This produces a crystal lattice, which is commonly known as 'ice'. Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water.
