Why Does Ice Float on Water?
为什么冰能浮在水面上?
精读先不看文字,完整听一遍。
-
Unlike most solids, ice floats because frozen water is less dense than liquid water—a rare and vital exception.与大多数固体不同,冰能漂浮,因为固态水的密度小于液态水——这是一种罕见却至关重要的例外。
-
When water cools below 4°C, hydrogen bonds begin locking molecules into an open hexagonal lattice.当水温降至4°C以下时,氢键开始将水分子锁定成疏松的六方晶格。
-
This crystal structure creates empty spaces between molecules, increasing volume while decreasing density.这种晶体结构使分子间出现空隙,体积增大而密度降低。
-
At 0°C, ice is about 9% less dense than liquid water, giving it natural buoyancy.在0°C时,冰的密度比液态水低约9%,因而具有天然浮力。
-
If ice sank, lakes and oceans would freeze solid from the bottom up, killing most aquatic life.如果冰下沉,湖泊和海洋会自下而上完全冻结,导致绝大多数水生生物死亡。
-
Instead, floating ice insulates the water below, allowing fish and microbes to survive winter beneath the surface.而实际上,漂浮的冰层能隔绝下方水体,使鱼类和微生物得以在冰面下越冬存活。
-
This density anomaly also drives ocean circulation, as cold, dense water sinks near poles and flows toward the equator.这一密度反常现象还驱动着大洋环流:寒冷致密的海水在两极下沉,并向赤道方向流动。
-
Scientists call this behavior ‘density inversion,’ and it’s one reason Earth supports complex life.科学家称此现象为‘密度反转’,它也是地球能孕育复杂生命的原因之一。

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)。
