What else can I help you with?
If you keep freezing and thawing rocks will they break?
rocks can break if you freeze and thaw it
What causes potholes and breaks in rocks from freezing an thawing cycle is what?
Potholes and breaks in rocks from the freezing and thawing cycle are caused by water seeping into cracks in the rock, freezing and expanding, and then thawing and contracting. This repeated cycle weakens the rock and can eventually lead to the formation of potholes or breaks.
What is the cycle of freezing and thawing in cracks of rocks called?
ice wedges
What is freezing and thawing and freezing again?
the result of freezing and thawing and freezing is frost boil
true or fale the freezing and thawing of rocks cracks and breaks rock. this is a mechanical type of weathering?
True. The freezing and thawing of water in cracks and pores of rocks exerts pressure that can cause rocks to crack and break apart. This is known as frost wedging and is a type of mechanical weathering.
Why do rocks come in different shapes and sizes?
Rocks break apart from force and heat. Water, freezing, thawing, and wind break rocks into smaller portions.
What effects do temperature have on rocks?
Fluctuating temperatures have diverse effects on rocks. This may cause freezing, thawing and break down of the rocks among other effects.
How does thawing and freezing of water cause weather?
by the coldness of freezing and the warmness of thawing
In areas where freezing and thawing occur frequently rocks weather rapidly because of the ----freezer?
In areas where freezing and thawing occur frequently, rocks weather rapidly because of the freeze-thaw process. Water seeps into cracks in the rocks, and when temperatures drop, the water freezes and expands, causing the cracks to widen. This repeated cycle of freezing and thawing leads to the gradual breaking apart of the rock, a process known as mechanical weathering. Ultimately, this accelerates the breakdown of the rock into smaller particles.
What effect do fluctuating temperatures have on rocks?
Fluctuating temperatures have diverse effects on rocks. This may cause freezing, thawing and break down of the rocks among other effects.
Freezing and thawing cycle that caus potholes in roads and breaks in rocks?
In areas with frequent freezing and thawing cycles, water seeps into cracks in the road or rocks. When the water freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the surrounding material. As this process repeats, it weakens the structure, eventually leading to the formation of potholes in roads or breaks in rocks due to the constant expansion and contraction.
What is a chilly type of mechanical weathering?
Frost weathering is a type of mechanical weathering that occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart. This process is common in areas with frequent freezing and thawing cycles.
