When 1 liter of water is cooled from 4°C to 0°C, the volume of water begins to increase due to the unique property of water known as 'Anomalous Expansion of Water.'
Water expands abnormally between 4°C and 0°C.
When liquid water is cooled, it contracts as expected until it reaches a temperature of about 4 degrees Celsius.
After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, at which point it expands by about 9%.
