Answer:

Colder than 4° Celsius (39° Fahrenheit), water begins expanding and becomes less dense as it gets colder. As a result, close to freezing, colder water floats to the top and the warmer water sinks to the bottom. ... Ice is less dense than water because of the way it forms a hexagonal crystalline structure.

Hope that helps!

Answer:

Water freezes from the top down—which allows ice to float—because of a strange quirk in how water's density behaves at falling temperatures. ... At 4 °C water is still in its liquid form. In lakes and rivers, this water will cool at the surface, grow denser, and descend.

Why is the quadrat method useful for estimating snail populations? Do you think it would work for fish populations?
SpyIntel [72]

Quadrat method is used for estimating the number of individuals in an area. In this method, a large square area on the ground or water surface is marked, call it an enclave. The number of animals present in this enclave is counted. Then by assuming that the animals are less migratory and are uniformly distributed, their number for a large area is estimated by the use of unitary method of calculation. Example a 4 square feet area has 2 snails, then a 1000 square feet area will have (1000 x 2)/4, i.e, 500 snails in it. Fishes can be counted using this method only if they are confined in a small water body like a lake or a pond. Rivers are flowing so the fishes may move along its length which can give us an underestimate or an overestimate of their numbers. Sea has its depth and huge area, and fishes can be moving randomly in it. Hence this method will not work for river and sea fishes.
