Question : 16

The surface of a lake is frozen in severe winter, but the water at its bottom is still liquid. What is the reason ?

a) The density of water is maximum at 4°C.

b) Since the surface of the lake is at the same temperature as the air, no heat is lost.

c) Ice is a bad conductor of heat.

d) None

Answer: (c)

When the temperature starts reducing in winter, lake water cools up to 4 degrees centigrade by convection as density increases with a reduction in temp.

On further cooling, due to anomalous expansion of water, density reduces & cold water remains at the top.

Then top layer freezes. Ice being a bad conductor of heat, lake water below ice remains at 4 degrees.
