When frozen water expands, it gets lighter. So ice can float on top of water instead of sinking to the bottom.
Most of the time it is a good thing that ice expands. But sometimes water may get into cracks in streets and roads. If the water freezes, the pressure caused by the expanding ice can break the pavement. Then the holes and cracks are expensive to repair. And if we put a full bottle of soda into the freezer to get cold quick and then and then forget about it, we may find the expanding ice has shattered the bottle and ruined our treat.
The most helpful benefit of ice on the surface of a lake for fish is that it can provide insulation and help regulate the water temperature beneath the ice. This is important for fish survival during cold winter months.
Ice wedging causes potholes by expanding cracks in pavement when water seeps into them, freezes, and expands. This repeated cycle of freezing and thawing weakens the pavement, leading to the formation of potholes.
liquid water because as water freezes it creates crystallized forms of its molecules expanding the area it takes up, which is why ice floats because it is less dense then the liquid form
Yes, when water is stored in expanding ice sheets and continental glaciers, it is removed from the ocean, causing sea levels to drop. This process is known as glacial isostatic adjustment and can have a significant impact on global sea levels.
can you keep water from expanding when it freezes?

Yes, it is making more ice melt. Antarctica's ice is expanding to levels greater than in 1979.
you use it to make stuff cold dumby
The plants do not get as cold.
Immediately after the dislocation, the application of ice is helpful to control swelling and decrease pain

it can be used in ice cream to heal your lose tooth or tonsils or anything like that.
YES
it insulates the fish
When the water froze into ice it was expanding (thermal expanision) causing the 100 grams of ice to have a greater volume than 100 grams of water!
Global warming (caused by our burning of fossil fuels) is expanding the ocean water and melting glacial ice. Thie melted ice also adds to the sea level rise.
