very slow downhill movement of rock and soil
chemical change
no it is not melting is the reverse of freezing
Frost Wedging.
Freezing or thawing are classified as mechanical weathering. Water dissolving and oxidation of chemicals in rock acid rain are classified as chemical weathering.
erosion
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures
creep
very slow downhill movement of rock and soil
the result of freezing and thawing and freezing is frost boil
Freezing and Thawing is an example of Mechanical Weathering.
by the coldness of freezing and the warmness of thawing
Alternate freezing and thawing often leads to creep.

Freezing and thawing
There are several ways that rock is broken down. One of these is wind. Another is water, especially the cycle of freezing and thawing.
