God himself could not sink this ship” This is an advertisement for the Titanic, produced in the early 1900s. However, after colliding with an iceberg at dawn on April 15, 1912, two rivers were formed, and out of the 2,200 people on board, 1,500 people, including the captain, sank with the ship. According to a later investigation, the “temperature change theory” (DBTT theory) was the most promising cause of the sinking. Give a brief guess of the cause of the ship's sinking in relation to temperature.
