Answer:

After sufficient thickness of ice is formed it prevents further loss of heat from the bottom layers of water. This is why fishes and other aquatic animals and plants can survive in ponds and other water bodies even when the atmospheric temperature reaches or is well below 0 degrees.The anomalous expansion of water helps preserve aquatic life during very cold weather. When temperature falls, the top layer of water in a pond contracts becomes denser and sinks to the bottom. ... Thus, even though the upper layer are frozen, the water near the bottom is at 4°C and the fishes can survive in it easily.

Scilla [17]

<span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.
