In winter the pipelines carrying water burst in cold countries because -
• In the cold countries where the temperature is sub-zero,the water in the pipeline gets instantly freezed into solid ice.
• Now,the density of ice is less than the water of same mass.
That's why ice has greater volume than water of same mass.
• Due to this greater volume,an excessive pressure is applied on the inside walls of the pipelines which bursts the pipe.
