Air enters the cracks?

Yes, air will enter rock cracks. But, if water fills the crack, during a deep freeze, the expansion of the water, as ice forms, will often widen the crack (even to split the rock).

How does ice wedging break ice?

Ice naturally makes cracks when it is frozen. Not large cracks, but cracks. Water seeps in through these cracks and freezes them. The crack expands due to the frozen water, or new ice. The cycle continues over and over again until the piece of ice finally breaks.

Why are the ice from an ice maker white?
