What do you understand by the anomalous expansion of water?

उत्तर
Anomalous expansion: A liquid that does not behave like a normal liquid on heating or cooling is said to have anomalous expansion. On heating or cooling, water does not behave like a normal liquid. The volume of water increases if we heat or cool it, provided initially the water is at 4°C.
