What type of weathering can ice wedging cause?
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
What are the 3 agents of mechanical weathering?
What are three agents or causes of mechanical weathering?
Does expansion of water as it freezes into ice cause weathering or erosion?
Yes, the expansion of water when it freezes into ice can cause weathering. When water seeps into cracks in rocks or soil and then freezes, the expansion of the ice can widen the cracks and break apart the rocks, leading to weathering. Erosion, on the other hand, is typically caused by the movement and transport of weathered material by gravity, water, wind, or ice.
What kind of weathering happens when ice forms in cracks in a rock?
Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and creates pressure that can cause the rock to fracture or break apart. This process is common in regions with climates that experience freezing temperatures.
How do you use mechanical weathering in a sentence?
