2. How do aquatic animals survive in winter or in cold countries?

Open in App

Solution

In cold regions, the temperature of the water body drops, causing ice to form on the surface.
The water does not freeze at the bottom in water bodies.
Even if rivers and lakes freeze in the winter, aquatic species can survive since not all of the water bodies freeze.
And thus, aquatic animals can survive in winter or in cold countries.
