Freeze-thaw is an example of what type of weathering?

The process of which freeze-thaw or physical weathering takes place is rather simple. Firstly, water would get into cracks on a rock or hard material, and overnight, it would freeze. Secondly, because when water freezes, it expands, it therefore forces itself further into the rock; the crack is made larger. Lastly, this would created more space inside the rock, for more water to end up inside, and join in with the freeze-thaw, until finally, the rock would break.


Why is freeze thaw weathering absoloutely vital if a glacier is going to be able to erode its valley?

Its to do with how it is able to form the glacier. There is a cylce where the ice can only cycle round and round if freeze thaw weathering is taking place, meaning that a glacier can erode its valley. The process of freeze thaw weathering erodes the valley.
