Why is this statement false?

Physics

The statement is false because as the temperature of water is decreased from 4C to 0C, <em>expansion</em> occurs.

You should understand that this is very weird behavior for any compound ... within a small temperature range, the stuff actually gets bigger as it gets colder.  That's why cubes float in your sody, and bergs float in the ocean.

Water is one of only two known substances that do this.  And if water didn't do it, then life on Earth would not be possible.  

Hmmm....

A particle is moving along the x-axis so that its position at any time t is greater than and equal to 0 is given by x(t)=2te^-t?
erastovalidia [21]
For speed you can differentiate the equation, for acceleration you can again differentiate the equation .
at t=0 the particle is slowing down , when you get equation for velocity put t=0 then only -1 is left

How are volcanoes distributed
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Volcanic activity is widespread over the earth, but tends to be concentrated in specific locations. Volcanoes are most likely to occur along the margins of tectonic plates, especially in subduction zones where oceanic plates dive under continental plates. As the oceanic plate subducts beneath the surface, intense heat and pressure melts the rock. Molten rock material, magma, can then ooze its way toward the surface where it accumulates at the surface to create a volcano. Volcanic activity can be found along the Mid-ocean ridge system as well. Here, oceanic plates are diverging and magma spreads across the ocean floor, ultimately being exposed at the surface. Crustal spreading long the ridge is partly responsible for the volcanic activity of Iceland. It is also thought that a "hot spot" lies beneath the island that contributes to volcanism.
