Contract, or become smaller.
Yes.
Any rocks can be "damaged" by freezing
thetons absorb the excess heat
have you tried a place where the temperatures are below freezing for most of the year
There has never been a "freezing of the universe".
To freeze water at different temperatures, you can use various materials that can act as freezing agents. Commonly, salt can lower the freezing point of water, allowing it to freeze at temperatures below 0°C (32°F). Additionally, substances like alcohol or antifreeze solutions can also lower the freezing point, making it possible for water to freeze at even lower temperatures. Cryogenic materials, such as liquid nitrogen, can freeze water almost instantaneously at extremely low temperatures.
Drying or freezing most likely. Depending on if the area has freezing temperatures or not.
Yes, freezing and melting points are characteristic properties of a substance. They are specific temperatures at which a substance changes its state from solid to liquid (melting) or from liquid to solid (freezing) under normal atmospheric pressure.
Yes the melting temperature and the freezing temperature of materials are the same.
Plastic does not have a freezing point, but as with most materials, the colder temperature weakens the structural integrity. Take concrete for example, it doesn't have a freezing point, yet the cracks you see are from extreme cold.
Boiling point is most affected by pressure. Note that freezing point and melting point are in fact the same.
Electrolytes like salt (NaCl) will lower the freezing point of water the most because they dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, increasing the number of particles in the solution. This disrupts the formation of ice crystals, lowering the freezing point.
