Re: Density of water.



A
If water density uniformly decreased above freezing point,
it would cool at the surface of cooler air as usual - and becoming denser
when cooler then sink, until it reached it reached its density level.
Relatively warmer water at the bottom would rise, and so I suppose,
there might be a vigorous circulation while a temperature gradient exists.
And quite possibly on significant bodies of water, there would always be a
gradient, and a circulation, so that icing would be postponed perhaps
banished from significant bodies of water....

The ice would sink -- thus the body of water would be solid ice thus no
fish thus no life -- at least in general.
