No. mechanical weathering is the breaking and separating of rock or other materials.

In order for mechanical weathering to occur you need water or some kind of mass movement.

the only erosional agent which works with mechanical weathering are creep and solifluction, but mechanical weathering itself cannot happen because if it is too cold the frost wedging cannot happen becasue the water would freeze in contact and would not expand

How did Russia's physical geography help protect it from invaders?

Russia's physical geography includes vast expanses of flat plains, dense forests, and harsh weather conditions such as extreme cold in winter. These features made invasion difficult as they posed logistical challenges for invaders in terms of movement, supply, and adaptation to the environment. Furthermore, Russia's vast size made it difficult for invaders to penetrate deep into the country without facing long supply lines and logistical difficulties.
