Heather fills a bicycle tire with air on a very hot day. The next day, the temperature drops and it is much cooler. Heather notices that the bicycle tire is almost flat. What best explains why the tire is flat?

• The cooler temperature caused the air in the tire to contract, making the tire appear flat.

• The cooler temperature caused the air in the tire to expand, which put a hole in the tire, causing it to go flat.

• The cooler temperature caused the air in the tire to freeze, making the tire flat.
