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 densest layer of the earth?

The densest layer of the earth is the inner core.


What temperature in the solid phase has the greatest water density?

In the liquid phase, it is 4o C. seeing how water only expands as it becomes ice, i think 0 degrees celcius is the densest

The order of densities of the liquids and solids in the cylinder?

From highest to lowest density, the order would be: solid gold, liquid mercury, solid silver, liquid water, liquid oil, solid foam. Gold is the densest material, followed by mercury, silver, water, oil, and foam in decreasing order of density.


When is water densest?

When it is in it's liquid state of matter.


How does water changes from solid to liquid?

What can be both a liquid and a solid?

Water can be both a liquid and a solid; freeze the water for ice (solid) and melt the ice to it's original state, water (liquid) Hope this helped. not just water almost any liquid can be froze into a solid


Example of a solid to a liquid?

An example of a solid to a liquid is ice melting into water.
