What are the cracks in the ice that forms a glacier?
Crevasses.
What happens when water freezes in the cracks in rocks. plant grow into the cracks in rocks?
The ice expands in the crack and may split the rock, as will eventually the roots of a plant.
Why are there cracks in the ice in Antarctica?
Icebergs calving off the Antarctic ice sheet is a normal phenomenon that has occurred for eons and will continue to occur. The weight of ice on the continent forms glaciers that push the ice sheets out over the ocean. In recent years warming waters are undermining the ice shelves at the point where they reach the sea. This is known as basal melting.
When is expanding ice harmful?
Most of the time it is a good thing that ice expands. But sometimes water may get into cracks in streets and roads. If the water freezes, the pressure caused by the expanding ice can break the pavement. Then the holes and cracks are expensive to repair. And if we put a full bottle of soda into the freezer to get cold quick and then and then forget about it, we may find the expanding ice has shattered the bottle and ruined our treat.
How does ice wedging break apart rock?
Water goes in a cracks. When it gets cold it thaws and freezes. It also turns into a crystal form. Then it takes a lot of space and cracks a rock.
How does ice wedging break ice?
Ice naturally makes cracks when it is frozen. Not large cracks, but cracks. Water seeps in through these cracks and freezes them. The crack expands due to the frozen water, or new ice. The cycle continues over and over again until the piece of ice finally breaks.
What are the cracks in the ice that forms a glacier?

What is the effect when ice freezes in cracks?
The ice expands, forcing the crack to widen. As an effect the cracks get bigger every time ice freezes inside. The thing with a crack eventually breaks.
What are the cracks in antarctica called?
Cracks in the ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent, are called crevasses.
The process by which ice widens and deepens cracks in rocks is called?
Ice wedging
What is the process in which ice widens and deepens cracks in rocks is called?
Ice wedging
What means the process by which ice widens and deepens cracks in a rock is called?
ice wedging
How does ice wedging cause mechanical weathering of racks?
If rain water seeps into cracks in rocks, and becomes frozen, the water turns to ice. As the ice expands it can force the cracks wider, even splitting the rock in two.
What is the type of weathering when ice forms cracks in rocks?
Ice wedging is a form of mechanical weathering.
Describe How ice wedging weathers rock?
Ice makes cracks in rocks laeger as it expands
What occurs when ice freezes on rocks and cracks off?
Frostwegging
