What is water expansion?
temperaturewater's most density: 4 degrees Celsius ( = lowest expansion rate)
What will a cubic foot of water expand to when turning to ice?
Water has about a 4% rate of expansion when frozen. Therefore, one cubic foot of water would increase to about 1.04 cubic feet when frozen.
What is the word to describe expansion when water turns into ice?
FREEZING
Which one among the following is responsible for the expansion of water in the ocean?
Gradual melting of polar ice is responsible for expansion of water inthe oceans.
How does water temperature affect the melting rate of ice?
the hotter the water the faster the ice will melt
Why does temperature weather rocks?
Expansion & contraction. But that's tiny compared to the expansion of water into ice (which is also a function of temperature).
What happens if water does not have its anomalous expansion?
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
Why would water not be the best substance to use in a thermometer?
its rate of expansion is to great.
Why does ice float above and under 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.
Which has higher denesity ice or water?
Ice has a LOWER density than water as ice FLOATS in water!!!!!!! Upon freezing water to form ice, expansion occurs thus more volume and surface area but the same weight.
Because of this anomalous expansion of water that water pipes sometimes burst during winter?
Anomalous expansion of water and bursting of water pipes during winter is because ice takes more space than water
What property of water causes cells to burst when frozen?
Expansion of water as it freezes ruptures the cell walls.
