Answer: Ice is less dense than water.

-------

This is a property of water, one that is crucial for ocean life because the ice keeps the entire ocean from freezing in very cold temperatures. If the ocean froze over, much of the life would not be able to survive.

Ice is less dense than water because of the hydrogen bonds. In solid form, the hydrogen bonds orient themselves in such a way that the molecules are further apart, lowering the density of ice.

Because since the water is ocean water and it’s impure, the impure water freezes at the top while the “clean” water is at the bottom.

Which of the following is NOT an adaptation of tundra plants? *
Lunna [17]

Explanation:

Plants also have adapted to the Arctic tundra by developing the ability to grow under a layer of snow, to carry out photosynthesis in extremely cold temperatures, and for flowering plants, to produce flowers quickly once summer begins. A small leaf structure is another physical adaptation that helps plants survive. Plants lose water through their leaf surface. By producing small leaves the plant is more able to retain the moisture it has stored.
