| The volume of melted water will always be less than the volume of snow that has been melted. During the formation of a snow mass, significant voids are formed, filled with air, they occupy a significant part of the volume of snow. Ice is formed similarly, it has a lower density than water, does not sink, which is of great biological importance – ice-covered reservoirs do not freeze to the bottom (air is a poor conductor of heat), in the lower layers of water the optimum temperature is maintained for the life of its inhabitants.
