heya!
here's your answer!
this explanation requires a bit of dive deep into the sea of physics ,
so the explanation goes like this :
as we know ,
that when temperatures drop down - water changes into ice - temperature goes below 0° - i.e. the freezing point . and when this temperature decreases , keeping mass as a constant which it usually is ,
since temperature is directly proportional to volume when temperature is decreased , the volume decreases too ..
now , since when volume decreases , pressure increases .. because pressure is inversely proportional to volume .
hence ,
pressure increases - thus a greater force us exerted on the pipes which compels it to burst up.
