The weathering of rocks due to iceis called...?
• Freeze-thaw weathering
Water expands slightly when it freezes into ice. If water gets into a crack in a rock and then freezes, it expands and makes the crack even larger.
When the ice melts, more water enters the crack. The water freezes again and makes the crack even bigger. This freezing and thawing process continues until the crack becomes so big that a piece of rock falls off.
