What would happen to water-ice contained within a fragment

Reference no: EM1397882

Occasionally an asteroid will break into fragments due to a collision. These fragments can leave the asteroid belt and some even make their way to Earth. Upon entering the Earth's atmosphere, a fragment is heated to high temperature by frictional forces. What would happen to any water-ice contained within a fragment? Is this type of change considered a chemical change or a physical change? Explain.
