sidewalks crack in the winter because the frost gets into tiny cracks in the sidewalk and as they expand, they cause the cracks to get bigger.

Cracks and potholes are caused in winter by rain water seeping into weak areas of the road surface. This water will expand when frozen, so forcing the surface to break up.

During the winter potholes-holes or large cracks in the pavement-appear in the street what causes them?

A crack in the pavement gets water in it. It freezes and expands, making the crack bigger. Cars going over it vibrate the area and make more cracks. Salt and daylight thaws the water, which goes deeper into the cracks and then freezes during the night and starts it all over again.

What causes potholes or large cracks in a pavement to appear in a street?

The main cause is in cold climates water gets into a tiny crack and then freezes and expands causing the crack to get larger and then when cars drive on it it will eventually cause the top layer of asphalt to break off. In warmer climates the constant wear of vehicles and heat from the sun dries the asphalt and causes the top layers of asphalt to crack, which can widen from rain water. Little cracks like in drive ways are usually caused by roots which can cause cement to crack and break up. To read more see attached link.
