What temperature range do pipes burst?
depends on what type of piping you are talking about. Are you talking about frozen pipes bursting or High temps??
Why do pipes burst at an extremely low temperature?
When water freezes it expands, as opposed to practically all other liquids. (For this reason ice fortunately forms on the TOP of ponds and lakes.) The expansion causes pressure to build up that could eventually burst the pipe. However, most water pipes burst because, as the ice builds up in the direction of the pipe, the water pressure continues to build up downstream from the growing volume of ice, that is between the ice and the faucet's. (Water pressure does not appreciably increase upstream as there is much more water on this side.) This enormous buildup of pressure can eventually cause the strongest of pipes to burst. It is a good idea to leave a faucet dripping if the pipe leading to it is in danger of freezing. Not only does this significantly reduce the chance of the water freezing in the pipe, but it keeps the water pressure from building up to dangerous levels that can cause bursting.

What is a frozen waterfall?
Quite literally a waterfall of frozen ice water. If the weather was warmer, the location would be a free flowing waterfall. Due to the cold climate what you end up with is a large area of frozen water which due to changing temps and/or sun exposure keeps partially unfreezing, dripping a little and than re-freezing, creating a cascade of ice.

Does plumbing under hand sink need to be wrapped?
You haven't provided enought detail. The answer is maybe. If the sink is indoors and the pipes are in a well insulated portion of the building structure, then probably not. If the pipes are in an exterior wall or in an uninsulated space and the outside air temps go below freezing in the winter, then it's probably a good idea. They'll also be quieter if you wrap them.
