Answer:
Heyy mate...Good night...here's you're answer...
Because the glass tumbler is cold, when hot water is poured, and the inner wall expands rapidly due to thermal expansion and contraction. ... when pour water into a glass, the more thick glass is easier to break. Glass conducts heat slowly,and the inner wall of the glass expands when the thick glass is poured hot water.
When thick glass placed in hot water, the surface warms first and expands. The deeper glass doesn't get warmed as quickly and doesn't expand as much. When one part of the glass expands more than another, it creates stress in the glass. When this stress exceeds the strength of the glass, it cracks.
