A couple of questions about water /ski/.
First of all why does water expand when freezing and how come water grows spikes up in the air defying gravity?
Finally is there any other substance life could spark in?

Solid H2O, ice naturally forms a hexagonal pattern which takes up a set amount of space. Liquid water flows more freely between individual molecules of H2O and as such naturally tends to be more compact, in terms of volume, than its solid counterpart.

I'm not so sure about the spikes but water expands when it freezes because water is a polar molecule. So it crystallizes once it freezes. I'm sure the spikes are related to that.

You need to be 18yo to use 4chan, kid. This is shit taught in middle school since for fucking ever.
