The water expands as it is frozen and so the cracks are made wider/bigger :)
Water freezes at zero degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric conditions.
Water pipes burst when water freezes inside them because as water freezes, it expands and creates pressure within the pipe. This pressure builds up until it exceeds the strength of the pipe, causing it to burst open.
it changes because when it freezes, the molecules within the water slows down thus changing the placement of it, which also changes the over size or volume of water.
32*F and 0*C
The temperature scale where water freezes at 32 degrees is Fahrenheit.
The rock cracks and weathers.
The ice expands, forcing the crack to widen. As an effect the cracks get bigger every time ice freezes inside. The thing with a crack eventually breaks.
cracks open wider
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.
Since water expands when it freezes, it causes cracks in rocks when it freezes inside them.

Water can do this if it freezes
It explodes...?
All rocks have cracks in them. If water fills the cracks and freezes, it expands and pushes the rock apart.
It is a form of weathering known as frost wedging.
When water freezes, it expands. If the water seeps into cracks in the road and then freezes, the expansion can widen the cracks and eventually cause the road surface to break apart. This process, known as freeze-thaw cycling, can weaken the road over time and lead to cracks and potholes.
