Water expands when frozen. When you put it in water that is warmer the ice wants to melt and get smaller. This puts uneven stress on the ice and causes it to crack. One section shrinks faster than another part.
It depends what water it is. If the water is hot, then the ice will melt from the heat. If the water is cold the ice would eventually melt slowly because the water is cold but the water will turn hot and it melts the ice.
when ice is put in warm water one side shrinks faster than another and at one point the ice feels thermal stress
Thermal stress. When this happens, The outside is warmer than the inside, and the cube bursts
It depends on its shape before it was hit. A thin sheet of ice might crack and shatter in a manner like glass. A thick chunk could be cracked and chip away with constant hitting.
possibly thermal shock

in water or anything which is denser than ice
Ice Wedging process in 5 steps:1. water enters crack in rock2. pressure builds and extends the crack3. crack extends and breaks apart the rock4. ice melts, allowing more water to enter crack5. water freezes and expandssource: Glencoe
you hit it with bombs shells logs or stone.
When there is a crack in a rocks,the rainwater stucks there and overnight it turns into ice which day by day it expands and breaks the rocks.this is the damage ice do to rocks.... Love facebook....
It does what all water does when it freezes: expands. This will crack the rock.
When water turns from liquid water to solid ice it expands in volume. If the water is in a crack in the rock the force of this expansion can force the crack to widen and, over time, break the rock.
The ice in Antarctica does crack forming crevasses. This is common in all ice formations.
It's a liquid - an oil; you can't crack liquid unless it's frozen.
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
As water in the crack turns into ice, the ice expands and may widen the crack, even splitting the rock.

An ice cube is not liquid; the ice starts out as a liquid, but when frozen metamorphosis's into a solid. The ice will not become liquid again unless melted.
The sound of the popping comes from the ice cube shattering or cracking. The liquid that the ice cubes are dropped into is warmer than the cubes, so the cube startes to warm, which causes the ice to expand, making it crack and hence the popping sound.
Generally, the ice in Antarctica is several feed thick. Otherwise, on freshly formed ice, people step carefully so as not to crack the ice.
A huge crack in the ice
The ice might CRACK up.
