Each time the water freezes, it expands, gradually widening the cracks in the rock. Eventually the rock will break along the lines of the crack.
How does freezing water cause rocks to weathering?
Water goes into small cracks in the rocks and then freezes. Water expands as it freezes and the expansion pushes outwards on the crack in the rock making it bigger. Eventually this process causes the rock to crack and flake apart
What happens first rocks break apart or water fills tiny cracks in rocks and freezes or ice pushes against rocks?
All rocks have cracks in them. If water fills the cracks and freezes, it expands and pushes the rock apart.
If water freezes in the cracks of a rock during winter and then melts during spring?

How does temperature change erode rock?
If water is caught in cracks in the rock and it freezes it expands. This causes the rock to chip off.
What happens when rock freezes and thaws repeatedly?
Rocks cannot freeze but the water inside them however can If this happens repeatably the water gradually creates cracks in the rock and every time it freezes again it widens this crack, eventually the rock can split into many pieces, this is known as the freeze thaw effect .
