What do you know about ice? How does it relate to the question?

What will be an ideal response?


Because ice has more rigid structure than liquid water it occupies more volume. Thus the same mass
of liquid water and ice vary in their density. Because liquid water occupies less volume it has a larger
density than ice. This is why ice floats on top of liquid water.

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is 10,000 years. This isotope and its breakdown product do not normally occur together before molten rock cools and becomes solid. You analyze a volcanic rock and find 25 percent of the original amount of
