In whch area would weathering by frost wedging probably be most effective?
in moist, mid-latitude climates
Where is frost wedging most common and why?
Any time water creeps into any object and freezes, it expands and causes damage. Water is everywhere. Cold weather is everywhere.
Where does a disk herniation most often occur?
most frequently occurs in the lumbar
Where does atherosclerotic blockage occur the most often?
Most often, atherosclerotic blockage or narrowing (stenosis) occurs in the femoral arteries
What is the place of dysplastic lesions of squamous epithelium occur most often?
buccal mucosa
What is the most common kind of mechanical weathering?
frost wedging ?
One of the most important mechanical weathering processes is?
Frost wedging.
Which type of mechanical weathering is most common in regions in the middle latitudes?
frost wedging
Which type of mechanical weathering is most common in mountains regions in the middle latitudes?
frost wedging
Which type of mechanical weathering is most common in mountainous regions in middle latitudes?
frost wedging
Why type of mechanical weathering is the most common in the mountainous regions in the middle latitudes?
frost wedging
Where is frost wedging most likely to occur?
Frost wedging occurs in small cracks in the rock where water seeps in. The water then freezes and expands (fun fact: water is the only knowns natural substance that expands when freezing, and is also the only substance capable of existing in all three basic states of matter--liquid, solid, and gas--at naturally occurring temperatures), which then splits--or "wedges--the rock apart. I've attached an image for graphic demonstration.

Where do ice wedging mostly occur?
Sidewalks and roads where the ice matter gets forced into cracks. It occurs most often in moderately cold climates because the ice needs to melt and then re-freeze

What is the effect on rocks in cold weather?
If it is cold, say, in Alaska, the most common effect on rocks is frost wedging. Frost wedging is when water gets in a crack in the rock, and the water freezes, making the rock crack a little more. When water keeps on going into the crack, and the ice gets bigger, it eventually will separate the rock into two or more parts, making the rock into many little rocks. I hope you find this useful! ^-^
