When does the water in the thermometer move down?
- A The water moves down when it is hot.
- B The water moves down when it is cold.
- C The water moves down when it is raining.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The water in the thermometer moves down when it is cold because cold temperatures cause the molecules in the water to slow down and contract, resulting in a decrease in volume. This contraction causes the water level in the thermometer to decrease, indicating a lower temperature.
