hiii mate here is the answer

Due to anamalous expansion of water which happens when water freezes from 0–4°C .

After that expansion doesn't take place,but during that period it does.

So the bottle cracks as there is no room for expansion.

hope it may help you

Since Water is an Incompressible fluid and due to density which makes freezing of water filled bottle starts cracking. Upon freezing, the density of ice decreases by about 9 percent, that results in volume expansion.This increase causes enough force to break most rigid containers. This is the same force, repeated on a daily basis, that creates "potholes" in the roads in the winter time.


The density of Ice is 0.9167 gm/cm3, and the density of water is 0.9998 gm/cm3.
