Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frost wedging is a process where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart. This can produce large boulders as pieces of rock are broken off, sand and dust as the rock is further broken down, and is a form of mechanical weathering, where physical forces rather than chemical reactions cause the breakdown of rocks.
