Describe the anomalous thermal expansion property of water and its significance.Temperature Near freezing, water has a negative expansion coefficent which means it expands as it cools and freezes. Since ice is less dense then the liquid water, it floats and stays on top of lakes and oceans. This has allowed aquatic life to survive UNDER the ice even during very cold times.Temperature Near freezing, water has a postive expansion coefficient which means it expands as it cools and freezes. Since ice is more dense than the liquid water, it floats and stays on top of lakes and oceans. This has allowed aquatic life to survive UNDER the ice even during very cold times.
