What does she was like the water inside a rock that freezes breaking it apart mean?

It means that she acted on the bond between two people in the same way that freezing water acts to exploit an existing crack in a rock--to pry apart and break a rock into separate pieces, a physical weathering process.

Why water inside a rock crevice can split it apart when the temperature drops?
Water expands when it freezes
What is the difference of water molecules separating and breaking apart?
Water molecules separating means they are spreading, or in other words, the water is evaporating. When they are breaking apart, the hydrogen and oxygen are separating.
How does freezing water weather rocks?
yes it does when water freezes it expands the rocks cracks which he water went inside
If salt water freezes does the salt freeze to?
If the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen
How does freezing water cause rocks to weathering?
Water goes into small cracks in the rocks and then freezes. Water expands as it freezes and the expansion pushes outwards on the crack in the rock making it bigger. Eventually this process causes the rock to crack and flake apart
What is the process of water free zing and thawing to break apart rock?
Water expands as it freezes because the oxygen gets trapped inside, pushing against the rock and slowly breaking it apart.
Why water inside a rock crevice can split it apart when the temperature drops?
Water expands when it freezes
How does water affect rock when it freezes inside the rock?
Since water expands when it freezes, it causes cracks in rocks when it freezes inside them.
What causes ice wedging?
Ice wedging, also called frost wedging or frost shattering is a process where water seeps into cracks in rocks and freezes. Since water expands when it freezes this cpushes the cracks further open, eventually breaking the rock apart.
Why do water pipes burst when water freezes in them?
Becuase when water freezes, it expands and burst the pipe from the inside.
What enters cracks in rocks and forces them apart?
Water can do this if it freezes
Do ice crystals break mountains apart?
Yes they do, because when water are freezed inside the mountains, it expands , breaking the mountain.
How does water help break rocks apart?
Water expands when it freezes. In winter, water gets into minute cracks in the rocks and then as it freezes it expands and makes the cracks bigger. So more water gets in then freezes so the cracks get bigger still until the rocks break apart.
What happens to the arrangement of water molecules as water melts and freezes?
When water freezes the molecules come together and become more orderly. When water melts the molecules loosen apart.
Does frost cause physical weathering of rocks?
i'im not sure about frost, but ice wedging does. when water seeps into cracks in a rock, the water then freezes and expands, forcing the rock to crack under the pressure, slowly breaking apart rocks.
Water in the cracks of a freezes and breaks apart the rock mechanical or chemical?

What is caused when water in e cracks in rocks freezes and expands?
Erosion ... breaking of the rocks.
