water has the property of expanding when cooled at a temperature below 4`C.
As a result water pipes burst due to the anomalous (strange) expansion of water in the colder regions.
water pipes burst due to expansion of water in colder regions.
the anomalous expansion of water is where water contracts from 0to 4 degrees and then expands.In winters when the large water bodies turn deadly cold,the anomalous expansion of water helps in freezing only the top layer of the water bodies so that the marine life can survive underneath.This is how the anomalous expansion of water is useful in conservation of bio diversity
The anomalous behavior of water refers to the expansion of water when it freezes instead of contracting.
The expansion of water when it is cooled from four degree centigrade to zero degree centigrade is known as "anomalous expansion of water." The unusual behaviour of water, when it expands below 4° celsius to 0° is called anmalus expansion of water.
Anomalous expansion of water and bursting of water pipes during winter is because ice takes more space than water
To save the living creatures in water during winter season.
If Water loses its anomalous expansion then there would be no chances of aquatic life surviving in winter.the density of ice and water will be whatsoever be same which could cause the ice from polar regions to sink in water and causing serious global problems
the law of anomalous expansion of water.
4 degrees celcious. this is known as anomalous property of expansion.
Aquatic life is benefited by the anomalous expansion of water because the water freezes top to bottom, not bottom to top. If it froze bottom to top, then the aquatic life would be pushed up, up, up, towards the surface of the water. Since it goes top to bottom, and the water at the bottom remains at 277K, the Aquatic life can survive there.
No. When water is cooled it contracts up to 4 degrees Celsius and then it begins to expand till 0 degrees Celsius. This is called the anomalous expansion of water.
Ice floats above water, as it has lesser density than that of water. Due to anomalous expansion of water, the ice (solid) has more density than water(liquid). Hence, it floats above water.
