What is the effect of temperature and density on the movement of water?

Asked by echee123

Answer (2)

temperature affects the movement of water because if the liquid is cold the molecules come together. Therefore, the water moves slower, and if the liquid is hot the molecules spread apart and move faster.

Temperature increases the motion of water molecules and causes thermal expansion, impacting density. Water is most dense at 4°C, which allows cold water to sink and insulates aquatic life. This unique behavior helps maintain ecosystems even in cold weather.
