mechanical weathering
No. Frost wedging is a type of weathering.
Biological hydraulic weathering.
Joints. This particular type of jointing is called "frost-wedging", and is a type of physical weathering.
Scree or talus would typically be formed by weathering due to ice wedging, plant root growth in rock crevices, pressure release, tensional stress, or compressional stress.
Physical (mechanical) weathering occurs when a rock is broken into smaller pieces without a change in chemical structure. Abrasion, fracture by freezing, plant root growth expansion of fractures, rock falls; these are forms of physical weathering.
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
