Water Preezes Explain Why Ponds Do Not Freeze Deeply
The article explains that water is heaviest at four degrees Celsius, causing ponds to freeze only to a shallow depth. As surface layers cool, ice forms, but water below stays relatively warm and isolates the interior. This results in thick ice forming slowly while deeper water remains unfrozen, keeping most of the body liquid.
