​​Sometimes water seems to defy the laws of physics, holding together despite the attempts of gravity or even the pressure of heavy objects to break it apart.

This is the power of surface tension, a property that makes the outer layer of a body of water (and some other liquids) act like a flexible membrane. Surface tension arises because water molecules bond loosely with one another. Due to the weak bonds between them, the molecules at the surface experience an inward pull from the molecules beneath them. Water will stick together until the forces pulling them apart overtake the strength of those weak bonds, and break the surface.

How warm and cold water mix

Warm water is less dense than cold one. And anything that is less dense tends upwards, while anything that is more dense tends downwards.
