energy when heated (also releases
large amounts of thermal energy as it

Q

Solid Water is Less Dense than Liquid Water (explain)

A

As water cools the water molecules form a lattice
structure that spreads the molecules farther apart
thus lowering density

The result is that ICE FLOATS!

Prevents ice from killing aquatic organisms

Snow has a very high insulation value – keeps
critters warm in winter
