Hydrogen bonds
As the water freezes, it will expand.
The crack would expand because the water in the rock, as it freezes, expands.

Water is one of the things that expands when it freezes, yes. But most other substances get somewhat smaller (contract) when they freeze.
No because water doesn't expand when heated and when it is cooled it contracts then forms ice crystals which cause it to give the appearance that it has expanded
The molecular bonds cause water to expand when it freezes.
When it freezes.
As the water freezes, it will expand.
NO
Yes, it will expand.
The crack would expand because the water in the rock, as it freezes, expands.
Its very unusual for a substance to expand when it freezes, water is just odd that way. Its just a property of water, its moleucles expand in the area they take up and take up more space.
Hydrogen bonds with wather molecues.
water exspands 25milimeters. ----------------------------------------------------------- The answer above is not correct. The expansion of water after freezing is approx. 9 %. This phenomenon is due to the fact that hydrogen bonds between water molecules are stronger at low temperatures.
when it is in the form of ice. When water freezes it expands. If a rock has a crack in it and water goes in the crack and freezes, it will expand and melt over and over. eventually it can split the rock.
