Question

1. a student is planning an experiment to determine how ice causes cracks in the rocks on a nearby hillside. the student decides to add different amounts of tap water to several plastic bottles. the student will mark the water level on each bottle and place the bottles inside a freezer overnight. - select the words from the list to complete the sentences. to determine the property of water that is mostly responsible for the formation of cracks in rocks by ice, the student should measure the change in select that occurs when water freezes. to better simulate the conditions under which the cracks form in the nearby rocks, the student should use select instead of tap water. rainwater distilled water salt water

Explanation:

When water freezes, it expands in volume, which is the property that causes cracks in rocks. So, the student should measure the change in volume. Rain - water is more similar to the water that naturally seeps into rocks on a hillside compared to tap water, distilled water, or salt water as it contains some dissolved substances and is the type of water that would typically be present in natural rock - cracking scenarios.

Answer:

First blank: volume
Second blank: rainwater
