Weathering.
Frost wedging is one of the most common forms of mechanical weathering. It occurs when water seeps into cracks in rock, freezes, expands, and ultimately breaks the rock into smaller pieces over time.
No, frost wedging is a physical weathering process caused by the expansion of freezing water in cracks and crevices of rocks. Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions rather than physical forces like frost.
