Why Ice Floats and Keeps Water Unfrozen
Ice expands when water freezes, unlike most substances that contract with cold. The expansion makes ice less dense, so it floats. If water didn’t expand, seas and lakes would freeze solid except for a thin surface layer, preventing warming from the sun and stopping thawing of sunk ice. Hard on the fish.
