Water seeping into the joints or seams of a rock and then freezing can weather the rock. This is an example of what type of weathering?

I'm pretty sure it's chemical weathering!

What type of weathering causes rocks to decay?
Wind, water, and freezing all cause rocks to erode or weather.
How is the freezing and thawing of water a part of the weathering process?
For example,when ice thaws, it becomes water, which can go into holes of a rock. When the water freezes, it expands & puts pressure on the rock which causes it to break apart/weather
What is the difference between weather and weathering?
weather is precipitation rain, hail, snow, ice,e.g. weathering is the wearing away of rock
What are the different types of weathers?
Mechanical weathering, Biological weathering and Chemical weathering.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of weathering?
can be good weather or bad weather so there is equal chance of both

How are shifting sand dunes an example of physical weathering?
because its an chemical weather
What isforecasting and weathering?
forcasting is predicting the weather. Weathering is tempering the weather
What is weathering kinds of weather?
Physical weathering
How the mechanical weathering is related to the weathering?
mechanical weathering applys weather
What are the main causes of weathering?
Freezing weather, dramatic changes in temperature, the roots of trees or plants searching for nutrients in the ground therefore breaking it apart, etc.
What are three ways that the climate factors of temperature and moisture affect rate of weathering?
The more severe the weather is, the more weathering will occur. Hot temperatures make things erode faster because of humidity while freezing will preserve them.

Is 'frozen weather' or 'freezing weather' correct?
I'm pretty sure it's freezing weather such as "This is freezing weather!" because I don't think that "This weather is frozen!" would work. lol Thanks!
What is weather resistant metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rock that resists chemical and mechanical weathering, for example, the rock gneiss.
What are examples of chemical weathering by oxygen?
I am a student and currently studying weathering, an example is Iron-containing minerals like magnetite, can weather to from a rust-like material called limonite.
