The chimney bursts when cold water falls on the chimney of a hot hurricane because -

  • The chimney of the hurricane is completely made out of glass and we know that glass is extremely fragile.
  • When, the chimney becomes hot, the uneven expansion occurs in the glass body of the chimney due to the thermal expansion.
  • When we suddenly pour cold water, the temperature of the glass chimney instantly goes down and uneven contraction of the glass starts taking place.
  • This fast and uneven contraction, is intolerable by the fragile glass and it breaks.
