What is repeated thawing and freezing of water in cracks of rocks?
Yes, freezing and thawing does cause these things. This is known as freeze-thaw weathering. For an in depth description of the process:Water falls into a slight crack in a rock, or a bedding plane between rock strataOvernight the water freezes and expandsThe crack is forced to expand as the ice expanding is more powerful than the capability of the rock to resist stress.Over a number of nights the process is repeated.Eventually when the crack is great enough, a/some fragment/s or rock strata come loose and fall down the slope due to gravity.They fall down the slope, forming a scree slope/fanFor a road surface, apply the word 'road' in place of rock and remove advanced terms completely. Eliminate the second part of step 5 and the whole of step 6.**N.B.Not all cracks are formed by freeze-thaw weathering.
