--low temperature thermo-dynamic principals--

the skinny--

 as the temperature of an object begins to drop, the number of collisions per-second is reduced...what we refer to as "temperature", is really a description of the number of collisions per-second( or, "harmonic resonance"), of an object, or environment that we are in( air)--

   the slower the molecules move, the more often there is a distance, or "lane", between them... like a busy street with lots of traffic, moving rapidly, but then slowing down, more, and more...as we all know, the slower the traffic goes, the more opportunities there are, to "cross" the street--

summary--

   this "crossing", is a "fissure", or crack "opportunity", for one to form...from there not being any molecules in the opening of the "molecular traffic", thus, if the object is stressed in the area where there are no molecules( or a low number is present), at the area of stress,  the "molecular surface tension" is broken, on that line, and a crack, or fissure, develops--


    --i suggest, this shows why objects are prone to cracking, at lower temperatures--
