Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock considered weathering or erosion?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
What is water freezing in a rock and cracking it called?
Frost action; a form of mechanical weathering of rock.
Do you apply rock salt before or after freezing rain?
Before would be a very bad choice as the rain would likely dissolve the rock salt and wash most of the rock salt away before the rain actually began to freeze significantly.
What chemical property does rock salt have that causes the lowering of the freezing point in solutions of ice and salt?
All substances have a quantity known as their "cryoscopic constant". This quantity determines the amount their freezing point is lowered by having things dissolved in them. Water's is fairly large, and rock salt is fairly soluble in water. These two properties combine to lower water's freezing point significantly when rock salt is added.So, the property rock salt has that lowers the freezing point is its solubility.
Is water freezing in cracks in a rock a physical weathering?
it is a physical weathering.
Which rock is most damaged by freezing sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
Tends to be sedimentary rocks; a lot of sedimentary rock is weak and water can easily seep through cracks or be absorbed if permeable. The water contained freezes, expanding the cracks or pressure within the rock, breaking it.
What is most likely to make a rock crack and crumble?
stressWater freezing in a crack in a rock

The two processes which are most often responsible for the breakdown of rock into soil particles are?
Water erosion, Freezing.
Does Freezing makes a rock crack?
No
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.
What is water freezing in the crack of a rock an example of?
Water freezing in the cracks of rock is an example of Mechanical Weathering also referred to as Physical Weathering.
What type of climate has the greatest amount of rock weathering caused by rock weathering?
A wet climate in which temperatures alternate between below freezing and to above freezing.
What Pokemon types are most effective against rock Pokemon?
The most effective in rock type Pokemon is water Pokemon ofcourse.
