Why a thicks walled glass tumbler cracks on pouring boiling water into it?
The boiling water causes the inside surface of the thick glass to expand rapidly. But the outside of the glass expands at a much slower rate, as it takes time for the heat from the inside to reach the outside, and the expansion to equalise. It is this difference in expansion that can cause the glass to break.
Why does a glass tumbler break when boiling water directly poured into it?
When heat is applied to something, it tends to expand. When you pour hot water into something made out of glass, only the inside dilates, and the outside doesn't, since its temperature is cooler. If the insides enlarges but the outside doesn't, it cracks. For this reason thick glass is more likely to crack, and thinner glass is less likely. Also, the bottom of the glass could expand, while the top doesn't (if the hot water goes straight to the bottom). In any case, the temperature is higher in one part of the glass and lower in another, so one part expands and another stays the same size.
