Multiple Choice
Water is most dense and thus heaviest at 4°C.At 0°C,ice forms and can float on liquid water.Suppose ice were most dense at 0°C.What would happen in a lake at this temperature?
A) The ice would cover the surface of the aquatic system and would never melt.
B) The ice would cover the bottom of the aquatic system and would build up in layers over time.
C) Ice would not form because solids are always less dense than liquids.
