I know you can break ice, but what happens when you compress it, like equally from all sides. How much pressure will it take? Can you cause water or ice to go critical?

Also, what is the force of water as it freezes and expands? We all know water can break apart mountains by getting in the cracks in the rocks and freezing, but just how strong is it? Can it break apart any material? These are some of the things I want to know about water.
Welcome to the toe,greetings from England to you,you are right to question the mysteries
of water,it has a consciousness,and a memory,see Emoto,the Japanese doctor,who works with water and does many experiments with it.
