Question

How is aquatic life benefited from the fact that water has a maximum density of 4°C?

Answer 1

Aquatic life is benefited from the fact that water has a maximum density of 4°C:

• Water shows a maximum density of 4°C.
• The one with more density sinks and the one with fewer density flows.
• So water is below the ice layer because of its maximum density.
• Water is in a liquid state which has oxygen trapped in it below the ice layer.
• This benefits aquatic life living in the water.
