Please can someone tell me how long the freeze thaw process takes on a rock, thanks :) xx
chemical weathering
Freeze- thaw
it does
physical weathering
tundra: grasslands ice cap: coldest climate Non-permanent ice: freeze-thaw cycles highlands: ice closer to the equator

The freeze-thaw cycle does happen in Antarctica, but the thaw is never complete.
Freeze/thaw cycles expand existing fissures in existing rock by the expansion caused by ice crystal formation. This leads to further erosion of the rock by freeze/thaw and chemical weathering from rainwater.
Freeze.
Answer melt there u have it
Although in the desert it does drop to the minuses in temperature there is not enough moisture in the air for any freeze thaw.
