Question

We are able to squeeze snow and make balls out of it because of :

• A. anomalous behaviour of water.
• B. large latent heat of ice.
• C. large specific heat of water.
• D. low melting point of ice.

Answer 1

The correct option is A anomalous behaviour of water.

$Answer:-$ A

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from $4^0$C to $0^0$C, and it becomes less dense. The density becomes less and less as it freezes because molecules of water normally form open crystal structures when in solid form.
