During a very cold winter, water
pipes sometimes burst. The reason
for this is
• Water contacts when it freezes
• Water expands when it freezes
• The thawing process releases pressure on
the pipes
• The ground contacts when, pulling the
pipes apart

escape the liquid
• The temperature of the remaining liquid
decreases
