Answer:

Anomalous expansion

Explanation:

Anomalous expansion of water is the abnormal way water expands when exposed to low temperature.

At 4 degree Celsius , the density at the top layer is usually at the Maximum which makes the water sinks down and then the water in the lower layer rises up.

When the temperature drops below 4 degree Celsius, the water molecules at the top then freezes leaving the denser molecules at the bottom which doesn’t freeze as a result of their high density.

This way, organisms can survive in the water due to the lower layer not freezing.

Answer:

<em>6</em><em> </em><em>minutes</em>

The reason to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is that if CPR is started within six minutes of cardiac arrest, the brain may survive the lack of oxygen. After about six minutes without CPR, however, the brain begins to die.
