Jade wanted to test the effect of ice on the weathering of rocks. She filled two containers with gypsum and placed a water balloon in one of the containers. She put both containers in a freezer for few hours and cut open the containers. She found out that the gypsum block with the water balloon cracked while the other block did not. How is this similar to the weathering of rocks by ice?
two blocks of gypsum, one has a water balloon in it and is cracked
The gypsum block cracks, just like rocks when the temperature increases.
The water balloon pops, causing the water to flow just like rain flows over rocks.
The water contracts as it freezes, just like the water seeps into the cracks of rocks.
The water in the balloon freezes and expands, just like the water in the cracks of rocks.
