Question

How does anomolous expansion of water help the aquatic organisms in cold climates ?

Answer 1

The anomalous expansion of water helps in survivals of water animals in very cold climates. Initially when temperature of water falls, it becomes heavier and sinks down. This process continues till 4°C.
Then after this expansion takes place. The surface layer of water gets freezed. Ice being bad conductor of heat does not allow loss of heat from the water below and results in survival of water animals.
