oceans and lakes would freeze solid and all life inthe water would die.
Vegetable oil? == == Any liquid that float over the water will make the ice sink if placed on it.Kerosene, gasoline, and some oils.
Most of earth's ice is piled up on Antarctica (the south pole). To a much lesser extent there is ice over the arctic and Greenland.
I think you may mean the Ice Age. At one point in one of the Ice Ages, the Earth was almost covered by ice/glaciers.
up your booty ////glaciers are a good example
Not a glacier, but an iceberg, which was drifting South from the Arctic regions after breaking off from the Polar ice-cap in the warmer Spring weather.
The earth would be like pluto a ball of Ice
The water would freeze, ice would SINK to the bottom. More water would freeze and ice would sink to the bottom again. Eventually the entire lake, river, stream, sea and ocean would be solid ice. All (or virtually all) life would cease in the waters.
If ice were not less dense than water, ice would form from the bottom up in bodies of water, freezing the aquatic life, and possibly killing off most of the aquatic life every winter.
If water had its highest density at 0C instead of 4C, it would mean that ice would sink in liquid water. This would have significant implications for aquatic ecosystems and the Earth's climate, potentially leading to disruptions in ocean currents and marine life.
It would not be good. I don't think that life on earth could be sustained. Ice floats on top of water b/c it is less dense. This prevents the water underneath the ice from freezing. If ice sank, then nothing would stop all water from freezing. Even if these freezing cycles were reversed as earth's temperatures change, it would not bode well for life on earth. (Consider earth's many ice ages)The ice would sink and the water level will rise.Additional answerThe ice would, indeed, sink. But this would cause the water level to go down. Think about it. The bit of water that has become ice would be smaller than it was before so the level would go down.
Eventually it would be come a ball of frozen ice.
Ice cream doesn't have bones.
The Ice Would Be Crushed
The ice sheet that covers 98% of Antarctica acts as a heat sink, which can help regulate our climate.
I only know one thing. When the earth warms up all the ice on the south and north pole melts and the water level increases in the sea. Small islands will then sink.
Yes, it would actually float. While less liquids sink right to the bottom
we would more likely die because the food sources would get smaller and smaller everyday and plus with most of the land mass covered by ice and snow, there wouldn't be enough room too hold all the people on earth.
