Is frost wedging chemical weathering?
No, it's a purely mechanical action.
Frost action is an example of this type of weathering.?
mechanical
Is frost wedging related to chemical weathering?
Frost wedging is classified as mechanical weathering, but does open up rock to further surface attack by chemical weathering.
What do you call a particular frost action which is an example of mechanical weathering?
ice wedging
Is frost heaving a type of mechanical weathering?
Yes, a second way freezing water causes mechanical weathering is by frost heaving

What is water freezing in a rock and cracking it called?
Frost action; a form of mechanical weathering of rock.
Type of physical weathering?
Therew is only to types of weathering in my knowledge and they are Mechanical and Chemical (in scientific term). Mechanical is also know as physical.
Is frost heaving a type of mechanical weathering?
Yes, a second way freezing water causes mechanical weathering is by frost heaving
What is mechanical wearthering?
Mechanical weathering is the process of weathering that causes disintegration in rocks but does not change the chemical compound of the rocks. Things like frost, rivers, and tree roots cause mechanical weathering. A large example of this would be the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
How does climate effect mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering refers to weathering that causes physical erosion of exposed rock without changing its chemical composition. Climate helps promote or prevent things like frost and wind that create this form of weathering.
What are the six major causes of mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering - Disintegration - breaks down into smaller pieces, no new substance. Frost Action, Abrasion, Gravity, Organic Activity, Wetting and Drying, and Joint Sheeting are the six major causes of mechanical weathering.
Types of mechanical weathering?
Frost wedging
What kind of weathering is frost action?
Physical weathering
