Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frost wedging is a mechanical weathering process where water freezes and expands in cracks and joints, causing them to widen and eventually break apart. This process is particularly effective in coarse-grained rocks where there are more spaces for water to enter and freeze, leading to granular disintegration.
