This process could either be called Freezing/Thawing or Ice Wedging. Ice Wedging splits the rock when water seeps into cracks then freezes and expands.

Ice wedging is a type of mechanical weathering.
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
frost wedging is when water gets into a crack in a large rock and when ice freezes it expands and when it expands inside a rock it might break in half
