How are rocks weathered by frost action?
Rocks are weathered by frost action when water fills in a crack and freezes into ice causing the crack to expand. This weathers the rock this thaws the rock and greatly damages all of the weathering processes.
How is frost wedging similar to root wedging?
they are both a type of physical weathering and both may break rock through a crack or a crevice. Frost wedging is when water enters a crack and may freeze causing the crack to expand because when water freezes it contrasts and expands. Root wedging is when a plant grows through a crack causing the roots to expand and break through the rock. -michael yap

What is the name of this process where the sandstone freezes and expands?
This is a process called Frost Wedging, which is a form of mechanical weathering. When water freezes in a crack of a rock, it expands, and the expansion will place pressure into the crack, which will increase the depth and size of the crack. Eventually, the rock will split apart.
What type of frost action occurs when a crack ina rock widens from the freezing and thawing of water?
