What happens to water when it gets cold?
It expands when you freeze it
How is water different from other substances when it gets cold?
When water freezes, it expands in volume; most liquids decrease in volume when they freeze.
When is expanding ice helpful?
When frozen water expands, it gets lighter. So ice can float on top of water instead of sinking to the bottom.
Why is water not used as a liquid in a thermometer?
because the mixture of ice and water has an equilibrium temperature of 0 C and thus it will be the first calibration system and making sure that thermometer is working properly. The thermometer will have better contact with the water than with lumps of ice and therefore adjust better to its temperature.
Why does ice split rock?
the water gets into cracks of the rock then over time if the water doesn't evaporate it freezes and expands. When the ice expands the crack gets bigger when the crack gets big enough it splits the entire rock
What is unique about the expansion of water?
that water expands when it gets cooler , other forms of matter expands when it gets hotter.
A liquid that expands as it gets colder?
That would be water.
What happens to water when it gets cold?
It expands when you freeze it
What happens when you mix water and lime?
It expands and gets extremely hot...
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.
When water gets into tiny crackers it can break rock apart this is because when water freezes it?
Water expands when freezing.
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.
Does the volume of water increase a lot when it frezzes or a little?
i know that when water freezes it expands and its volume gets larger but i am not sure how much.
How is water different from other substances when it gets cold?
When water freezes, it expands in volume; most liquids decrease in volume when they freeze.
How does frost wedging cause erosion?
frost wedging is when water gets into a crack in a large rock and when ice freezes it expands and when it expands inside a rock it might break in half
When is expanding ice helpful?
When frozen water expands, it gets lighter. So ice can float on top of water instead of sinking to the bottom.
If you lived in an area with very cold winters should water be kept in you outdoor pool all winter Why or why not?
No, water should not be kept in your pool all winter. When it gets cold enough, the water will freeze. When water freezes, it expands. So when the water in your pool freezes and expands your pool will be ruined.
