Why do cracks in a rock get larger because water has frozen in them?
Weathering is the process which breaks rocks into smaller bits. This is one type of weatheringPhysical weathering is a physical action which breaks up rocks : An example of this is called freeze-thaw weathering when water gets into tiny cracks in rocks. When the water freezes it expands, if this is repeated the crack grows and bits eventually break off.

How might the chewing of food be related to the rate of chemical reaction digestion that occurs in your body?
Chemical reaction rate is increased by: -increased surface area -increased temperature -increased concentration of reactants -presence of a catalyst Chewing food essentially breaks up large chunks of food into smaller bits, increased total surface area for digestion.
