Question: what would happen if the freezing point of water became 10 degrees C?

The water will freeze at 10°C,

Many countries out of the equator will freeze if their temperature is 10°C,or below.
Countries like Greenland, their temperature vary from -9°C, to 7°C, Since water freeze at 0°C, when Greenland is at a temperature higher then 0°C it will not freeze. However when water freezes at 10°C, it is most likely that Greenland will freeze permanently. Artic, Antarctica and countries nearby will also freeze. Countries which their temperature is below 10°C in winter will also freeze.

Agriculture in countries far away from the equator will also be affected. Imagine if a country's average temperature is at 5°C. Before you can even water the plants, the water will freeze. This way, the plants will die. Animals feeding on the plants will eventually die too. This will then create a chain reaction which then, animals feeding on animals and people feeding on animals will all be affected.

However since ice is less dense than water, it will always float above the water.
