Long description
Figure 4
This is a line graph showing the change in density with temperature.
The horizontal axis is labelled 'temperature/°C' and is marked from 0 °C to 10 °C in intervals of 1°.
The vertical axis is labelled 'density of freshwater/kg m−3' and is marked from 999.6 kg m−3 to 1000.0 kg m−3 in intervals of 0.1 kg m−3.
There are horizontal and vertical gridlines at the marked axes points.
The density data are represented by a solid green line.
The pattern in the line is an asymmetric inverted 'U' shape.
The density is approximately 999.86 kg m−3 at 0° and then increases steadily to a maximum of almost 1000.0 kg m−3 at approximately 4°.
The density then decreases steadily to 999.73 at 10°.
