Answer: Water expands when it freezes. As freezing continues, the expanding ice under the surface forces the remaining water up through the hole and it freezes around the edge forming a hollow spike

Step-by-step explanation:

Water expands when it freezes. As freezing continues, the expanding ice under the surface forces the remaining water up through the hole and it freezes around the edge forming a hollow spike. Eventually, the whole thing freezes and the spike is left.

Answer:

In a freezer, the air molecules absorb energy from the water, causing the water molecules to freeze into a solid.
