How does the anomalous expansion of water help aquatic organisms in cold climates?
Advertisements
उत्तर १
The anomalous expansion of water helps in the survival of water animals in very cold climates. Initially when the temperature of waterfalls, becomes heavier and sinks down. This process continues till 4°C. Then after this expansion takes place. The surface layer of water gets freezed. Ice being a bad conductor of heat does not allow loss of heat from the water below and results in the survival of water animals.
उत्तर २
When water is cooled it contracts and its density, increases until the temperature reaches 4°C, on further cooling water starts expanding with decrease in its density. This is anomalous phenomenon. The aquatic organisms can live there easily.
