Water actually becomes less dense, or expands, when frozen. When liquid water reaches it's freezing point, the water molecules rearrange themselves into a lattice structure. Due to the nature of the water molecules, they arrange themselves in such a way as to make it less dense than it was in it's liquid form, which is why ice floats on top of liquid water.

What happens when water enters a crack of a rock and freezes in it?
When water enters a crack in a rock and freezes, it expands as it turns into ice. The force of the ice expanding can exert stress on the surrounding rock, causing the crack to widen or the rock to break apart. Over time, repeated cycles of freezing and thawing can lead to the disintegration of the rock.
Name a solid that was a liquid?
Ice (solid) starts out as water (liquid) and when water freezes it becomes a solid.
Does ice undergo a chemical change when it freezes?
No, ice does not undergo a chemical change when it freezes. Freezing is a physical change that causes water molecules to slow down and come closer together, forming a solid structure with the same chemical composition as liquid water.
Is a form of solid water?
Ice is a form of solid water. When water freezes, it transforms into a solid state, creating ice.
What type of solid does pure water form when it freezes?
Pure water forms a crystalline solid when it freezes, known as ice. Ice has a hexagonal crystal structure, where water molecules arrange themselves in a repeating pattern, creating the solid form we commonly see.
Does antarctica double and shrink in size each year?
Antarctica, the continent, does not change in size, but the ice the surrounds the continent freezes in the winter, essentially doubling the size of the ice that covers 98% of the continent.
What freezes ice?
isn't ice already frozen?
What freezes ice cream quickly?
dry ice
How is the temperature at which ice freezes affected by its size?
The size of ice does not significantly affect the temperature at which it freezes. Ice freezes at 0 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure regardless of its size.
When water freezes it change?
When water freezes, it turns into what we call ice. ice is a solid. no offense, but um stupid question.
Why do you have ice in the world?
We have ice in the world because water freezes to form ice.
When water freezes?
It turns to ice.
When it freezes water turns into?
ice
What are the release dates for Ice Freezes Red - 2014?
Ice Freezes Red - 2014 was released on: USA: 12 December 2014
What Water is frozen into ice?
Any water that freezes is ice. Ice can be clear, murky, or opaque depending on what impurities are in the water before it freezes. The temperature at which water freezes may vary depending on what dissolved or suspended matter it contains,
What type of weathering is water that freezes into ice back to water and then freezes again?
wedginald
Is the ice sheet on Antarctica shrinking?
yes ice in the antarctica shrink
