Explain the given sentenceA glass tumbler may develop a crack due to uneven thermal expansion after pouring hot water into the otherwise cool glass.

Glass is a poor conductor of Heat and Electricity. So when we pour hot water in a glass, the inner lining of the glass expands. But the outer lining of glass is still cool and does not expand. This causes the glass to crack due to uneven Thermal Expansion.
