Explanation:

For the question "Solid water is l______ dense than liquid water"

We know from the properties of water that solid water (ice) has a lower density than liquid water. The word starting with 'l' that fits here is "less".

If ice were more dense than liquid water, when water freezes, the ice would sink to the bottom of bodies of water (like lakes, oceans). Over time, more and more ice would accumulate at the bottom, and eventually, most of the water in large bodies of water would freeze from the bottom up. This would disrupt aquatic ecosystems, as organisms would not have a liquid water layer to survive in, and the water cycle would also be severely affected as less water would be available in liquid form on the surface.

Water has a high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and release a large amount of heat with a relatively small change in temperature. Areas near large bodies of water (like oceans, lakes) have more moderate year - round temperatures. In summer, the water absorbs heat, keeping the nearby land cooler. In winter, the water releases the stored heat, keeping the nearby land warmer. In contrast, inland cities, with less water to moderate temperatures, have more extreme temperature variations (hotter summers and colder winters).

Answer:

less
