Answer:

Freezing

Step-by-step explanation:

Freezing is the process in which a liquid changes to a solid. It occurs when a liquid cools to a point at which its particles no longer have enough energy to overcome the force of attraction between them. The freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which it freezes. The freezing point of pure water is 0°C.

Answer:

freezing

Step-by-step explanation:

Once it gets cold enough (around 32 degrees Fahrenheit), the expanding water molecules begin to form ice crystals. This spreading-out of water molecules as it freezes is why sometimes a bottle full of water will break when you freeze it. The fact that water expands when frozen is also really important to life on Earth.
