1.

In an experiment, a thin copper wire with weights at either end is placed on a supported block of ice. The thin wire is observed to pass through the ice. The experiment shows that an increase in _______.

  pressure causes the freezing point of water to rise above 0o

  specific latent heat causes the freezing point of water to drop below 0o

  pressure causes the freezing point of water to drop below 0o

  specific latent heat causes the freezing point of water to rise above 0o
