What else can I help you with?
Why is ice erosion powerful?
When water gets into cracks and it gets cold, obviously it freezes. When water freezes it expands. As the ice expands, it breaks apart the surrounding material and makes the crack bigger, causing more damage.
Murcury expands when it's hot but what expands when it's cold?
Water expands when it freezes and becomes ice.
Why water pipe in very cold regions sometime crack?
Because the cold makes them slightly more brittle and the water in them freezes and in doing so it expands (needing more room) and this makes the pipes bulge and crack. You discover the problem as the ice melts!
Why do bottles break when they are filled with ice?
Bottles break when they are filled with ice because when ice expands when it freezes.
Why does icefloat on water?
Water, when it freezes into ice EXPANDS, so it floats.
Explain how ice-wedging can weather a rock?
Ice-wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in a rock, freezes, expands, and widens the crack. As the water repeatedly freezes and thaws, the crack will continue to expand due to the pressure exerted by the ice. Over time, this process can cause the rock to break apart into smaller pieces.
Why does ice spew upward in an ice tray?
When water freezes it expands and the only way it has to go in an ice tray is up.
Which is denser ice or cold water?
Cold Water. Water expands when it freezes, which makes ice less dense.
What is the effect when ice freezes in cracks?
The ice expands, forcing the crack to widen. As an effect the cracks get bigger every time ice freezes inside. The thing with a crack eventually breaks.
How does ice contribute to physical weathering?
It falls in the cracks as water and freezes. As it freezes, it expands, eroding what ever it fell into, whether its concrete or rock.
Why is Ground weak to Ice?
Water seeps down into the earth. As it freezes, it expands. It can crack apart the ground, rocks, or other areas that had been saturated.
What change overtime?
I would say the erosions or rather, the nature aka rain, snow, ice (when ice freezes (from water) it expands)
