If ice did not float seas and lakes would freeze from the bottom up. There would be no free water. No free water would mean no life. No life would include you.
The reason why ice will float in water is because ice is not as dense as water, therefore, it floats.
ice cubes floats in the water, because it is in the liquid form
Because ICE is less dense than water, it is the only solid which floats on its equivalent liquid.
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes and forms ice, the water molecules arrange themselves in a crystalline structure that causes the ice to be less dense. This is why ice floats on water rather than sinking.
it is because ice has littel air pockets witch help it to flote
Ice floats because it is less dense than water. The lower density is because in ice the molecules are arranged into a hexagonal crystal structure that leaves extra space in between.
Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystalline structure that spaces them apart, making ice less compact than liquid water. This lower density causes ice to float on water.
Because ice has a lower density than water.
Because the density of ice is less than that of water, the ice floats on the water. Think of density as weight. In cheer leading the heavier people pick up the lighter people because it is easier. It is easier for the water to "pick up" the ice because the ice is lighter. Therefore, the ice floats on top of the water instead of sinking to the bottom
It is true that water expands as it freezes, but the reason it floats on water is because the density of solid water (ice) is less than that of liquid water. And the density of ice is lower because of the expansion (same mass/larger volume).
The only solid that floats in its liquid is ice. This occurs because the density of ice is lower than the density of liquid water, allowing it to float on the surface.
