Rocks are already frozen (unless it is molten lava). Otherwise mountains would simply be piles of dust. Water freezing in cracks or variations in the rock can cause breaking.

What effects do temperature have on rocks?

Fluctuating temperatures have diverse effects on rocks. This may cause freezing, thawing and break down of the rocks among other effects.


Does temperature changes cause chemical weathering?

Yes, temperature changes can cause chemical weathering by expanding and contracting rock materials, leading to the breakdown of minerals and weakening of rocks. For example, freezing and thawing cycles can cause rocks to crack and break apart, accelerating the chemical weathering process.


Which of the following is NOT a cause of mechanical weathering?

Temperature changes, such as freezing and thawing, is NOT a cause of mechanical weathering.


Does freezing a chicken egg hurt it?

yes freezing a chicken egg will cause it to swell and crack.


What do changes in temperature cause rock to do?

Changes in temperature cause rock to expand and contract. This may cause them to crack, and pieces may break off.


Can freezing cause damage to antibiotics?

Yes, freezing can potentially cause damage to antibiotics by altering their chemical structure and reducing their effectiveness. It is important to store antibiotics properly at the recommended temperature to maintain their potency.


Can an avalanche cause another natural disaster?

Yes the snow can melt and cause a flood if the temperature is above freezing point and if it is not removed quickly.


What is the most common cause of hypothermia?

Getting wet


What is sub freezing temperature?

Sub-freezing temperatures refer to temperatures that are below the freezing point of water, which is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). These temperatures can cause liquids to freeze and surfaces to become icy, posing risks for travel and outdoor activities. It is important to take precautions to stay warm and protect oneself from the cold when temperatures drop below freezing.


Can freezing cause a density current?

No, trade winds and evaporation can cause a density current but not freezing.


How snow can cause weathering and erosion?

Snow can cause weathering and erosion by freezing and thawing cycles. When snow melts, water seeps into cracks in rocks and soil. When the temperature drops, the water refreezes, expanding and causing rock and soil to crack. Over time, this process can break down rocks and lead to erosion.


Scientific term for water to ice and back to water?

The scientific term for water turning into ice is "freezing" and for ice turning back into water is "melting." These processes involve changes in temperature that cause water molecules to either slow down and form a solid lattice (freezing) or speed up and break apart the lattice structure (melting).
