The freezing of water trapped in with this space in rock

Reference no: EM13680373

One of the significant factors responsible for geologic evolution (esp. erosion) is the pressure developed by the freezing of water trapped in with this space in rock formations. Approximate the maximum pressure that can be developed by water freezing to ice at -10°C. Note that Vice > Vwater, thus the pressure will rise as each bit freezes according to the Clapeyron equation
