Water is an unusual earth material because it is densest in which phase?

Water is denser in its liquid phase than its solid phase. It is at its densest just a couple of degrees above freezing, and it expands just a bit as it freezes. That's why ice floats, and why freezing water can be so destructive.

What is the deepest and densest layer of water in the ocean?
A basic answer is that the densest ocean water is the saltiest - a ship floats higher in salt water (sea) than in fresh water (lake). Also cold water tends to sink towards the ocean floor, or may form a layer mid way.
Why does frozen water mack larger cracks in rocks?
Because when water seeps into cracks and freezes, the material gets pushed outwards, because water exapands as it freezes. This process is called ice wedging.
What unusual fact about ice causes it to float in water?

Why is the yapok so unusual?
The yapok is unusual because it's the only marsupial that lives in water. It has peculiar characteristics like webbed feet and water repellent fur.
Which is the densest state in the us?
liquid when it is in solid form, the molecules actually move further apart, which is unusual, since in most other cases the solid is the most dense. It is due to the structure of water molecules
