Answers
Answer: The pipe burst because of cold
Explanation:
As you know, it can get very cold in Kashmir, and sometimes water can freeze.
There is a phenomenon with water where ice takes up more volume than water because the air molecules are trapped with it. When in liquid state, the air can be left out.
When the water in the tap is frozen due to the temperature of Kashmir, it expands and applies force to the pipe
Moreover pipe are made of metal, and like metal expands in heat, it contracts in the cold as well.
So with the pipe contracting and the ice expanding, there is too much force for the pipe to withstand and it cracks.
This issue can be solved by either getting larger pipes or reducing the amount of water running through the pipes, leaving room for the ice to take.
