Answer:

Explanation: The disintegration of the vehicle began after a joint in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. The failure was caused by the failure of O-ring seals used in the joint that were not designed to handle the unusually cold conditions that existed at this launch.

The space shuttle broke apart because gasses in the external fuel tank mixed, exploded and tore the space shuttle apart.
