50 POINTS!! EASY MULTIPLE CHOICE

How does the density of solid water (ice) affect aquatic life?

It allows ice to float to the top of water, insulating water below allowing life to live.
It allows ice to sink to the bottom of water, allowing life to live above.
It traps air within solid ice, allowing life to breathe within air pockets.
It produces bubbles as it freezes, allowing life to breathe under water.

give an explanation why

Firstly, if ice was denser than water, which it isn't, upper layers of the bodies of water would freeze up and sink to the bottom until the whole lake was solid which would kill all the fish living in it.

Secondly, although air pockets are formed within ice, they are usually forced into the middle as ice freezes first at the sides which would eliminate D. Option C is partially correct, but how will life breathe if the air is inside the cube. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thirdly, I took the test and got it right.

What do you mean by Aquatic ecosystem?

An aquatic ecosystem may be defined as any place that completely surrounded by water throughout the year where numerous microorganisms, plants, and fishes live and reproduces.

The density of ice is less than that of water. As a result of this, ice floats on the surface of the water and makes deeper water insulating for organisms to live.

Ice prevents the oxygen to dissolve with aquatic water and sunlight to penetrate deep in the aquatic ecosystem causing a severe threat to living organisms that are living under it.

Therefore, the density of solid water affects aquatic life by allowing allows ice to float to the top of the water, insulating water below allowing life to live.
