Explain why the freezing of water into ice causes the cracks to widen

The freezing of water into ice causes the cracks to widen because it occupy more space.

Explanation:

When the water change its state of liquid to solid state due to decrease in temperature, it contracts means occupy less space but when the temperature reaches to 4 degree Celsius, it starts to expand. When the temperature goes below 0 degree Celsius, it will cause more expansion and occupy more space that causes the cracks to widen.
