Ice wedging is a form of mechanical weathering.
Ice wedging is physical weathering. As water freezes it grows, so when water flows into cracks or holes and then freezes it causes the water to expand, which brakes apart whatever it seeped into.
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
Ice wedging would help slow chemical weathering and make the soil more fertile.
Acids in the rain create holes in the rock, which allows water to get inside for ice wedging.
