Why Ice Floats on Water — And Why That Matters
为什么冰能浮在水面上?这为何至关重要?
精读先不看文字,完整听一遍。
-
Unlike most substances, water expands when it freezes, making solid ice about 9% less dense than liquid water.与大多数物质不同,水结冰时体积膨胀,使固态冰的密度比液态水低约9%。
-
This unusual behavior comes from hydrogen bonds forming open hexagonal crystals as water cools below 4°C.这种反常现象源于水温降至4°C以下时,氢键形成开放的六方晶体结构。
-
Because ice floats, lakes and rivers freeze from the top down, insulating deeper water and preserving aquatic life beneath.由于冰能漂浮,湖泊和河流自上而下结冰,从而隔绝深层水体,保护下方水生生物。
-
If ice sank, bodies of water would freeze solid from the bottom up, making seasonal thawing nearly impossible.若冰下沉,水体将自下而上完全冻结,季节性解冻几乎不可能。
-
This density anomaly also drives ocean circulation, as cold, salty water sinks near poles and warmer water rises elsewhere.这一密度异常还驱动大洋环流:寒冷、高盐的海水在两极下沉,较暖海水则在其他区域上涌。
-
Glaciers calve floating icebergs not because they’re heavy, but because their freshwater ice displaces denser seawater.冰川崩解形成浮冰,并非因其重量,而是因淡水冰排开密度更高的海水。
-
Even small ponds rely on this principle: fish survive winter only because ice forms a protective thermal barrier.即便是小池塘也依赖这一原理:鱼类得以越冬,全因冰层形成了保温屏障。
-
Engineers consider this property when designing polar vessels, refrigeration systems, and climate models.工程师在设计极地船舶、制冷系统及气候模型时,均需考虑这一特性。

课程开发中,敬请期待。成人和孩子都可以先自学听读、精读。
这边的讲解音轨还在做。想先跟着老师走完固定 30 课,可以去陈老师带读社(和自学通行不是同一份会员)。
课程开发中,敬请期待。
