What else can I help you with?
True or false water contracts when it freezes causing frost wedging?
False, water expands when it freezes.
What is thermal expasion?
Its when a liquid freezes and expands or contracts. Ex. Water when it freezes has more mass than the liquid
What thermal expasion?

When water freezes does it contracts?
No it expands, that's why soda cans sometimes explode if you freeze them.
When water freezes it contracts true or false?
It is false. Water expands on freezing.
Which liquids expand on cooling?
I think that only water expands when it freezes everything else contracts
What is unusual about the behavior of water when it freezes?
It actually expands, instead of contracts, for a few degrees below the freezing point.
What happened to the volume of water and the wax after freezing?
At freezing the volume of gas increase.
What does a solid do when it contracts?
When a solid freezes, it contracts making the molecules inside get closer together which makes the volume smaller.
Does water expand?
When it freezes.
Why the surface of ice raises when it changes from water into ice?
water contracts when cooling until about 4 deg. C. From that temp. further cooling causes the water to expand. as it freezes it continues to expand, that is why ice floats.
Does water contract when froze?
Yes, water contracts when it freezes. As water cools below 4 degrees Celsius, it begins to contract until it reaches its freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius, at which point it expands as it forms ice crystals. This expansion is known as the anomaly of water and is why ice is less dense than liquid water.
