Question

Write two consequences of anomalous expansion of water.

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to anomalous expansion of water water after reaching 4 °C, water starts expanding and thus fishes can survive even when it is freezing cold outside. The biggest advantage is when water gets cold and expands it is less dense. ... Because it is less dense when it freezes the ice floats too

Answer 2

Answer:

♦ This anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4°C to 0°C, and it becomes less dense. The density becomes less as it freezes because molecules of water normally form open crystal structures when in solid form.
