thanks for question

Explanation:When a lake freezes, the upper layer freezes due to being in contact with the cold atmosphere. This ice sheet doesn't sink as it is less dense than water. This ice sheet acts like a insulator and keeps the water inside warm enough to be in a liquid form. ... But the water below the surface layer does not freeze.
