What would happen if the freezing point of water became 10 degrees C?


The colder areas would be most affected.
Firstly,organisms may die due to lack of water.People living in colder areas may die as blood freezes too.Furthermore, ships will find it difficult to cross the waters near northern and souther hemisphere.Fishermen will suffer lower fish catches as more waters freeze.As a result,humans have no food and they will die.On the other hand,there would be less floods occurring due to more water freezing to ice at places like Northern US and Canada.We would enjoy more land space due to lower ease of water freezing.Yet,this would mean that plants that thrives at temperatures below 10 degree celsius would be wiped out.In conclusion,if water freezes at 10 degrees Celsius,it would be more of a disaster.

  1. What would happen to tropical places like Singapore ? I feel that it isn't a good idea for the water to freeze up easily , it'll too cold to touch even if it were to be at room temperature
