Frost wedging is the major weathering process contributing to the formation of which regolith material?
A)tropical laterites
B)talus slopes
C)C soil horizons
D)lunar soils

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Talus slopes are formed by the accumulation of debris that has been weathered from the surrounding rock by processes such as frost wedging. Frost wedging occurs when water freezes and expands in cracks and crevices, causing the rock to break apart. This is particularly effective in environments with repeated freeze-thaw cycles, such as high-altitude mountain regions.
