Theodore Key · Answer 1

Answer: The false statement above is option C: Cold water is more dense than warm water and therefore sinks below the surface.

Explanation:

Because Warm water generally gets more dense as it gets colder, and therefore sinks, colder water floats to the top and the warmer water sinks to the bottom. Also In the winter, temperatures in a lake get close enough to freezing that the colder water is less dense and floats to the top.
