When water breaks rock apart by entering crack and freezing then thawing what is it called?

What is the name of the process when rocks freeze and expand?

What does freezing and thawing of rocks do to them?
Freezing a rock would shrink it some (contract) while the thawing would expand it. This applies to most substances, water being the obvious exception.
How does creep mass movement occur?
creep mass movement occurs where ice wedging takes place.(ice wedging means the ground is freezing and thawing over and over again) As the ground freezes, it expands the water in the soil to push up the sediments. when the ground thaws out all the sediments will fall downslope. Creep is a slow process.
