Question
The temperature of water at the surface of a deep lake is 2°C. The temperature expected at the bottom is
Options
0 °C
2 °C
4 °C
6 °C
Solution
4 oC
The density of water is maximum at 4 oC, and the water at the bottom of the lake is most dense, compared to the layers of water above. Therefore, the temperature expected at the bottom is 4oC.
