Water expands as it freezes so becomes less dense than liquid water. Ice floats to the surface leaving liquid water (for fish to swim in) below the surface ice.
The addition of substances such as salt or antifreeze lowers the freezing point of water, allowing it to remain in a liquid state at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.
The maximum temperature in winter varies widely depending on the geographical location. In temperate regions, winter maximum temperatures can range from just below freezing to around 10°C (50°F). In milder climates, temperatures may reach 15°C (59°F) or higher, while in polar regions, winter temperatures can remain well below freezing. Therefore, the specific maximum temperature is highly context-dependent.
Yes, mint can grow in winter in milder climates where temperatures do not drop below freezing.
Latvia has a moderate climate with four distinct seasons. Winter's have become warmer but the average winter temperatures are still bjust below zero. Average summer temperatures are in the high teens with daytime temperatures in the mid twenties.
Sleet requires temperatures to be below freezing in the lower part of the atmosphere and at the surface, so yes, it occurs in the winter.
It is recommended to use 40W oil in the winter when the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) to ensure proper lubrication and protection for your engine. This oil viscosity is designed to remain fluid in colder temperatures and provide sufficient engine protection during winter conditions.
Snow typically falls during winter season when temperatures drop below freezing, usually in regions with colder climates.
Rivers typically freeze during the winter months when temperatures consistently drop below freezing, usually in late fall or early winter.
In Oklahoma, summer temperatures typically range from 90-100°F, with occasional peaks above 100°F. Winter temperatures range from 30-50°F, occasionally dropping below freezing. Oklahoma experiences a wide temperature variation between summer and winter.
The contrast is greater in the Winter. The equatorial temperature is relatively stable throughout the year ... always what I call 'hot'. Temperatures in the Arctic region ... for example on Alaska's North Slope where this writer has personal experience ... can remain below zero for long stretches during the Winter, but are equally likely to remain "shirt-sleeve" during the Summer, often even hitting the 80s and 90s.
the climate for the Iroquois was warm summers and cold temperatures in the winter which could go below zero
The Iroquois had warm summers (about the 70's) but cold temperatures in the winter which could go below zero.
