Rain water seeps into any cracks in the rock. When the water freezes in winter, the ice expands and the force can be strong enough to split the rock.
yes the rock can be split open
Water expands when it freezes
It hapens erosions
Yes, air will enter rock cracks. But, if water fills the crack, during a deep freeze, the expansion of the water, as ice forms, will often widen the crack (even to split the rock).
The ice expands in the crack and may split the rock, as will eventually the roots of a plant.

Temperatures such as freezing and thawing water causes the rock to split. Also, if something causes it to shift position and fall on another rock, it may break up.

the spit aapple rock is spit beacuse a bite of it

the main location is somewhere in new zealand. it is always near water though.
Split Rock Lighthouse State Park was created in 1945.
Split Rock Creek State Park was created in 1937.

Ice wedging breaks the rock apart. Water goes into cracks in the rock and when it freezes, it expands. This can cause rocks to split and eventually break. (see the related link)
Water will fill small cracks in rocks, overnight this will freeze into ice which is larger that water so forces the crack in the rock to split further. This will repeat over a long time until the rock is cracked so much that is splinters into small fragments of rock which are washed away by rain.
