Answer:

thermal shock

Step-by-step explanation:

the temperatures inside the glass jar should have continued to increase over time. Internal stresses due to uneven heating. This is also known as “thermal shock”.

In general, the thicker the glass, the more prone it will be to breaking due to the immediate differences in temperature across the thickness of glass.

Borosilicate glass is more tolerant of this, as it has a higher elasticity than standard silicon glass.

You may also note that laboratory test tubes and flasks are made with thinner walls, and of borosilicate glass, when designated for heating.
