Larry filled a milk carton completely with water and tightly secured the cap. He then placed it in the freezer. When he looked at the container two days later, he saw that the frozen water had expanded, breaking the container. What type of weathering is modeled by Larry’s experiment?

A. chemical weathering
B. biological chemical weathering
C. physical weathering
D. biological physical weathering

C. physical weathering

Explanation:

Larry simply modeled physical weathering.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

There are several modes of physical and chemical weathering.

The one described by Larry is a physical weathering type called frost action.

continuous conducting path for current, power supply

force required to detach it is given by

charges are taken to be fundamental charge

now we have

so above is the minimum distance at which it will detach
