Why is it important that solid water, ice, floats rather than sinks?

it floats

Explanation:

The reason why it floats is because of the density of the ice cube

Explanation:

because if it were to sink, then it would slowly cause the entire body of water to turn into ice. this would cause all the marine life to die out because the water is frozen (unless the organisms can survive in freezing temperatures).

foliated

[ explanation ]

foliation forms in a rock when pressure squeezes the rock together. the rock then has a design of many different color little lines. there are three types of foliated rock. the types are slate, schist, and gneiss. each type of foliated rock is different based on grain size and foliation characteristics. the lines appear when the rock has been under pressure.
