Property:
- Increasing the density of water at 4 o.
Cause:
- The presence of hydrogen bonds between water molecules.
Importance for living organisms:
- Preserves the lives of living organisms in the sea and ocean waters in the polar regions because of the freezing of surface water only, which constitutes a layer of insulation prevents the freezing of the rest of the sea water.
