Explain why:
Rivers and lakes do not freeze easily?
उत्तर
Large rivers do not freeze "through out" because, Water, ice, and snow are good insulators and poor conductors of heat. The portions of a lake or river that are exposed to the cold winter air will freeze into ice and this ice insulates the water below from further rapid freezing.
