As the water freezes in the cracks of rocks,the cracks expand. The process repeats itself and the rock eventually breaks.
Ice Wedging process in 5 steps:1. water enters crack in rock2. pressure builds and extends the crack3. crack extends and breaks apart the rock4. ice melts, allowing more water to enter crack5. water freezes and expandssource: Glencoe
when water freezes a certain rock and breaks it down..
When it rains, water can get in through the cracks in asphalt, rock, etc. Then that water freezes, which expands the size of the water. When it expands, it pushes the rock apart, thus causing erosion and weathering. =)
For example,when ice thaws, it becomes water, which can go into holes of a rock. When the water freezes, it expands & puts pressure on the rock which causes it to break apart/weather

it freezes and breaks apart
As the water freezes in the cracks of rocks,the cracks expand. The process repeats itself and the rock eventually breaks.
When water gets into cracks and it gets cold, obviously it freezes. When water freezes it expands. As the ice expands, it breaks apart the surrounding material and makes the crack bigger, causing more damage.
Water expands as it freezes because the oxygen gets trapped inside, pushing against the rock and slowly breaking it apart.

There is no react reaction to simple contact with ice. But since water expands when it freezes, any water that freezes in a crack will force that crack to become bigger and will slowly break the rock apart in a process called frost wedging.

Water can do this if it freezes
Water expands when it freezes. In winter, water gets into minute cracks in the rocks and then as it freezes it expands and makes the cracks bigger. So more water gets in then freezes so the cracks get bigger still until the rocks break apart.
Water goes into small cracks in the rocks and then freezes. Water expands as it freezes and the expansion pushes outwards on the crack in the rock making it bigger. Eventually this process causes the rock to crack and flake apart
Abrasion. Impacts of sediment grains carried by the water breaks apart and erodes rocks. Your mumma
