What Causes the ‘Stillness’ of a Frozen Lake?

A frozen lake feels still because the water is turned into ice, and ice doesn't move like water does. When a lake freezes, it becomes solid, like glass. The ice stays in one place, so everything looks calm and quiet on top. It’s like when you put a bowl of soup in the freezer, after a while, it turns to ice and stops moving around.
