Why does ice become less dense than water?

Biology
1 answer:
myrzilka [38]3 years ago
8 0
Ice actually has a very different structure than liquid water, in that the molecules align themselves in a regular lattice rather than more randomly as in the liquid form. It happens that the lattice arrangement allows water molecules to be more spread out than in a liquid, and, thus, ice is less dense than water.

Alla [95]

Answer:

Blowfly adults looking for a place to lay their eggs

Explanation:

Blowfly adults are attracted to the gases and fluids of a dead body and usually lay their eggs on a dead body within the first two days after death.

The eggs then turn into larvae then enter pupal stages and then become adults themselves. Forensic entomologists can determine how long a body has been dead by the stage of development of the blowfly with the ambient temperatures that have been present.
