Question

unit 2 quiz 1
which property of water can cause a rock to break apart?
water boiling at 100 degrees celsius
water losing energy slowly
water expanding as it freezes
water having a high surface tension

Explanation:

When water freezes, it expands. If water seeps into cracks in a rock and then freezes, the expansion exerts pressure on the rock, causing it to break apart. Boiling point, slow - energy loss, and high surface tension do not directly cause rocks to break apart in the same way.

Answer:

Water expanding as it freezes
