Sort the states of water by density, from least dense (top) to most dense (bottom).

Ice

Water Vapor

Liquid Water

Water Vapor - (least dense)

Ice

Liquid Water - (most dense)

Explanation:

While you would expect that the density of a substance increases with lowered temperatures - because the particles get closer together hence there are more particles of the substance per unit volume at lower temperatures-, there is an exception in water. It is even called water anomaly.

Ice, which is the solid and most compact form of water, is less dense than water at 4° Centigrade. This is why ice sheets float on oceans in the polar regions.

the oceanic zone is typically defined as the area of the ocean lying beyond the continental shelf, but operationally is often referred to as beginning where the water depths drop to below 100 meters (328 feet), seaward from the coast to the open ocean.
