General knowledge

Science: the anomalous expansion of water means water expands when cooled from 4°C to 0°C, which is why ice floats and lakes freeze from the top.

विज्ञान में जल का असंगत प्रसार (anomalous expansion) यह है कि पानी 4°C से 0°C तक ठंडा होने पर फैलता है, इसीलिए बर्फ़ तैरती है और झीलें ऊपर से जमती हैं।
