False, water expands when it freezes.
The crack would expand because the water in the rock, as it freezes, expands.
Water is unique. It expands in volume when heated, and also expands in volume when frozen (hence, burst water pipes (unless insulated) when there is a thaw after freezing winter weather).
Water goes into small cracks in the rocks and then freezes. Water expands as it freezes and the expansion pushes outwards on the crack in the rock making it bigger. Eventually this process causes the rock to crack and flake apart
yes it does when water freezes it expands the rocks cracks which he water went inside
When it freezes.
Water
Water
This process is called frost wedging or freeze-thaw weathering. Water enters cracks in rocks, freezes and expands, causing the rock to break apart over time.
Because when the water freezes it expands.
The process is called mechanical weathering or freeze-thaw weathering. Water seeps into cracks in the rock, freezes, expands, and ultimately breaks the rock apart as the ice expands.
Yes, it will expand.
Water.
it remain the same as it has definite volume.
It is not that 20 per cent of the water expands - all of the water expands.
Water expands when it freezes and becomes ice.
Its density goes down because when water freezes it expands.
