उत्तर
Farmers fill their fields with water on a cold winter night to protect the crops from frost. In the absence of water, if on a cold night the temperature of the surroundings falls below 0°C, then the veins of the plants will freeze. Due to the anomalous expansion of water, ice will occupy more volume than water. As a result of this expansion, veins shall burst and crops will be destroyed. But water sprinkled on the crops shall not allow the temperature of the veins to fall below 0°C.
