Heyy Mate....!!!

The water, which is less dense than the rocks, will float. ... As the 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.
