∙ 13y agoIf water gets into cracks in a rock and then freezes, it expands, as water does when it freezes, and forces the rock apart.
If snow falls in the mountains and doesn't thaw in summer, it builds up. The snow at the bottom turns to ice and, when there is enough, it flows downhill under gravity very slowly. This is a glacier which plucks rocks from the sides of the valleys it makes and grinds rocks under it into dust.

How does shearing affect rock in Earth's crust?
Shearing affects the rocks in the earth's crust when the rocks are being pulled apart in opposite horizontal directions
What are the two important causes of mechanical weathering?
Temperature changes make rocks expand and contract and it is one of the important cause of mechanical weathering. Water abrasion is the other important cause. Wind and moving water cause rocks to rub against each other and the rocks could well break into smaller pieces.
How do glaciers affect the surrounding community?
Glaciers not only transport material as they move, but they also sculpt and carve away the land beneath them. A glacier's weight, combined with its gradual movement, can drastically reshape the landscape. Over hundreds or even thousands of years, the ice totally changes the landscape. The ice erodes the land surface and carries the broken rocks and soil debris far from their original places, resulting in some interesting glacial landforms
Can glaciers transport and deposit rock?
The force of ice being pulled down by gravity can create sufficient movement to displace all but the largest or most well-anchored rocks. Glacial movement can slide rocks several tons in weight.
What helps of the weathering and transportation of rocks?
There is only the four vehicles, water, wind, ice, gravity. This is really easy to remember when you use my teacher's motions.
How does freezing water affect the weathering of rocks on a mountain's pinnacle?
Freezing water can affect the weathering of rocks on a mountain's pinnacle because the frozen water will expand within the cracks of the rocks of the mountain's pinnacle. The ice accumulations will also grow larger which will also affect the weathering of the rocks.
Which is denser regular ice or ice with rocks in it?
Ice with rocks in it.
How was formed the landslide?
rain affects the rocks which cracks the rocks, on a high place it'll fall off when loosely cracked. It'll affect more rocks when it crashes another rock.

How does ice effect rocks?
When there is a crack in a rocks,the rainwater stucks there and overnight it turns into ice which day by day it expands and breaks the rocks.this is the damage ice do to rocks.... Love facebook....
When we serve a drink on the rocks what do we mean?
Rocks refers to ice cubes. A drink served on the rocks means that it is poured over ice cubes, and served with the ice cubes in the drink.
Which rocks are exposed to more rain wind and ice?
Which rocks are exposed to more wind, rain, and ice
How chemical weathering affect rock?
Chemical weathering affects rocks rain, wind or ice . Chemical weathering is the process that changes the composition ( the inside) of rocks on the earth surface.
How do water can affect rocks?
the rocks is wet
