Answer: The molecules of water move farther apart when they freeze as the atoms in the crystal lattice becomes far away and that decreases the volume of the water in the form of ice.

Explanation: This property allows the organism to stay in the the lakes in the lower areas.

The ice is lighter and stays on the top so that the organism can stay inside the water at optimum temperature.
