Does freezing affect the weight of an object?

Freezing typically does not affect the weight of an object. When an object is frozen, it undergoes a phase change from liquid to solid, but its mass remains the same. However, freezing can cause a slight expansion in volume due to the change in state.


Does freezing cause water to expand and crack rock?

yes


What happens the object when it is heated?

The molecules in an object begin to move because of the heat. The moving of the molecules cause the space between them to expand. That is how blacksmiths are able to change the shape of metals.


What does heat cause?

Heat causes ojects to expand . The object also will melt if it is a solid , and will turn into gas if heated.


Does freezing something cause it to shrink?

Yes, freezing something can cause it to shrink. When water freezes, it expands and takes up more space which can lead to the shrinking of the object it is contained in. This is why fruit and vegetables can appear smaller after being frozen.


Can heat increase mass?

No, heat does not increase mass. Heating an object can increase its internal energy and cause it to expand, but the total mass of the object remains the same.

What object never freezes?

There is no object that never freezes, as freezing is a natural phenomenon that occurs when an object's temperature drops below its freezing point. However, some substances, such as helium, have extremely low freezing points that make them resistant to freezing under normal conditions.


What do you leave dripping when freezing?

A cold faucet. A minimal water flow stops the water from freezing and allows for ice to expand.


Why freezing and thawing and water erosion be rare in a desert?

Freezing and thawing are rare in deserts because the temperatures typically do not fluctuate enough to cause water to freeze and expand. Water erosion is also rare in deserts because there is limited water available to cause significant erosion processes, such as runoff and sediment transport.


What is it called if rain freezes as soon as it hits a cold object?

The phenomenon of rain freezing on contact with a cold object is called "freezing rain".
