Why the surface of ice raises when it changes from water into ice?

water contracts when cooling until about 4 deg. C. From that temp. further cooling causes the water to expand. as it freezes it continues to expand, that is why ice floats.

Why does ice float on the surface of water-?
Ice floats on water because it has a lower density than water. It flows on water when either it is blown by the wind or it is moved by water currents.
What is the name for the process when snow or ice changes to water?
Melting of ice or snow.
Is water ice and steam changes of state?
Yes
Is the melting of ice is a chemical or physical change why?
Melting ice is a physical change because the properties of the physical changes say that there is a physical change when the state of a material changes. the ice changes into water after melting .this is temporary change as the property says. you can change water back into ice by freezing.
Why when you leave a glass of ice water on the counter water forms on the outside?
Water can exist in three states; as liquid water, as solid ice, and as the gaseous water vapor. In the presence of a cold surface such as the outside of a glass containing ice, vapor in the air will condense into liquid water on the cold outside surface.
How does an ice cube melt in water?
The water raises the temperature of the ice cube
What is one way that the earths surface can change slowly?
The earth's surface changes through erosion, due to wind, water, vegetation, ice or temperature
How does water changes it ice?
Water changes into ice by solidification, aka freezing. When water changes into ice, the liquid particles are reorganizing themselves to become a solid particle.
Why does ice turn into water when it is in water?
Since the water is at a higher temperature than the ice, it transfers heat to the ice. This in turn raises the ice's temperature above its melting point of 32oF which turns the ice to water.
What is the large body of ice that changes the earth surface?
glacier(:
What is the surface of callisto?
ice water
How does ice changes to water?
Melts
What determines if water is melting or freezing at 0 degrees Celsius?
if the temperature raises then water is melting (ice becomes water),if the temperature falls then it's freezing (water becomes ice)
What is causing the change in dry ice and the water ice?
Temperature causes changes in dry and water ice
Ice is heavier than water or not?
Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.
What are 3 reversible changes in matter?
ice to water to ice
Why does ice float on the surface of water-?
Ice floats on water because it has a lower density than water. It flows on water when either it is blown by the wind or it is moved by water currents.
