Question
Give a reason for the following.
Ice floats on water.
Short Note
Solution
Reason:
- This is because ice is lighter than water.

- Since ice is a bad conductor of heat it does not allow heat to pass through it.
- So, the water below the ice remains in liquid form, where most of the aquatic life lives.
