When a lake freezes How does the density of water prevent all of the living organisms in the lake from freezing as well?
When a lake freezes How does the density of water prevent all of the living organisms in the lake from freezing as well? Because it is less dense, ice floats on the surface of liquid water, as we see for an iceberg or the ice cubes in a glass of iced tea. In lakes and ponds, a layer of ice forms on top of the liquid water, creating an insulating barrier that protects the animals and plant life in the pond below from freezing.
