Freeze Thaw is one of the two physical weathering. Freeze thaw is a process were
the water gets into the gaps or cracks of the rock. Over the night the Water freezes and then expands, the result the rock eventually breaks.

When water breaks rock apart by entering crack and freezing then thawing what is it called?
Ice wedging
What process by which a solid changes to a liquid is called?
Process involved making a liquid become a solid is freezing the liquid. Therefore the process is called freezing.
What is the cycle called when freezing and thawing breaks rocks apart?
well it's under weathering and soil formation or weathering and erosin
What is it called when water in rocks freezes?
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.
Liquid to a solid this process is called change of what?
The process of changing from a liquid to a solid is called solidification or freezing.
The process of water freezing and thawing to break apart rock is called?
Ice or frost wedging
What is the freezing and thawing of ice called?
Melting and freezing are the correct terms for this phase change.
What is it called when the physical break down of rock and soil without any change in chemical makeup by physical process such as freezing and thawing?
Weathering
What is the Alternate Freezing and Thawing Of Soil And Rock Is Called?
frost action
What is the alternate freezing and thawing of soil rock called?
frost action
What is the cycle of freezing and thawing in cracks of rocks called?
ice wedges
The freezing and thawing action of water affects a rock by?
Water seeps into cracks in the rock, and when freezing occurs, the water expands, thus making the crack slightly larger. This process is called mechanical weathering.
When water breaks rock apart by entering crack and freezing then thawing what is it called?
Ice wedging
What process by which a solid changes to a liquid is called?
Process involved making a liquid become a solid is freezing the liquid. Therefore the process is called freezing.
The alternate freezing and thawing of soil and rock is called mechanical weathering right?
I don't know ether help? :)
What is the cycle called when freezing and thawing breaks rocks apart?
well it's under weathering and soil formation or weathering and erosin
What is the cycle of freezing and thawing in the cracks of rocks called?
It is called frost heave, frost wedging, and freeze/thaw cycle, an example of mechanical weathering. Cracks formed in rocks by the pressure of freezing allow water to penetrate further, and enlarge the crack when that water freezes, gradually reducing the size of the rock body.
