Ice is less dense than water, therefore, it is able to float on top of water, which is more dense than ice. Because of this unique property of water, life is able to exist in Antarctica, seeing that organisms would need to be able to utilize water for metabolic functions.

The property of ice that allows it to float in water is the ices low blank?

The property of ice that allows it to float in water is the ice's low density. When water freezes into ice, the molecules arrange themselves in a way that makes the ice less dense than the liquid water, causing it to float.


The property of ice that allows it to float in the ices low?

Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a crystalline structure in which molecules are more spread out, making ice less dense and causing it to float.


What is made up of icy dust particles and frozen gases?

A comet is made up of icy dust particles and frozen gases such as water, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia. When a comet comes closer to the sun, these ices can vaporize and form a glowing coma and a tail.


What is a class b digital apparatus?

A Class B digital apparatus as digital equipment for use in a residential (home) environment. Technically, as it is defined by Canada ICES-003, a "Class B digital apparatus" means any model of digital apparatus that cannot qualify as Class A digital apparatus. A "Class A digital apparatus", by contrast, means a model of digital apparatus for which, by virtue of its characteristics, it is highly unlikely that any units of the model will be used in a residential environment, which includes a home business. Characteristics considered to be applicable in this assessment include: price, marketing and advertising methodology, the degree to which the functional design inhibits applications suitable to residential environments or any combination of features which would effectively preclude its use in a residential environment.

What is Uranus composition?

Uranus's atmosphere is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane. It contains ices such as water, ammonia and methane, along with traces of hydrocarbons. We think the interior of Uranus is mainly composed of "ices" made of water, ammonia and methane. The core is rock, probably. -----science control factions------
