MARKING BRAINLIEST Think about the fact that water is most dense at 4°C, and the fact that ice is much less dense than water.

a. What would happen to a lake or a pond in the winter (in a cold climate) if this wasn’t the

case?

b. What if the water continued to contract, and the solid form (ice) was more dense than liquid

water?

c. How would this affect the life in the lake

please answer all

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) If water is not most dense at 4°C, then the entire lake or pond will simply freeze bottom-up during winter thereby leading to the death of all the aquatic organisms inside the pond.

b) If the solid ice was more dense than water then it will sink inside the water thereby making room for the water to continue to freeze until all the water in the lake or pond will be converted to ice.

c) If the scenario described in (a) and (b) above occurs, the lake will simply cease to exist because all the living organisms in it will die and begin to decay after the ice has melted after the winter season thereby leading to a complete loss of the lake or pond.
