I froze a bottle of water almost all the way.When I open the bottle the water comes out and makes a mess? I ask is it because the solid piece of ice in the bottle, is blocking the way of the water to go down to the bottom? It seems like it should still be the same amount of water frozen or not? The solid form takes up more space?

Yes that is why global warming will not flood the world. Especialy if the bottle is full ,ice has more volim than water. that is why ice floats. This causes pressure in the bottle ,to the point I have sean a coke bottle burst from freezeing.

The solid form of water takes up more space than the liquid form. This lower density is the reason ice floats on liquid water.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what you're asking.

Water contracts when freezing and reaches it's maximum density at 4% cent. as it cools further it expands and becomes less dense than water ,so it floats.
The bottom of the ocean it a constant 4% Centigrade.

When water freezes and makes what they call a "crystal lattice" it takes up more space. when it is in liquid form the molecules of water slide past each other with less space between the water molecules. its all about the chemistry.
