I don't know ether help? :)
Temperature changes, such as freezing and thawing, is NOT a cause of mechanical weathering.
Frost weathering is a type of mechanical weathering that occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart. This process is common in areas with frequent freezing and thawing cycles.

Frost wedging is a form of mechanical weathering caused by the repeated freezing and thawing of water in cracks in rocks.
True. The freezing and thawing of water in cracks and pores of rocks exerts pressure that can cause rocks to crack and break apart. This is known as frost wedging and is a type of mechanical weathering.
Freeze/thaw cycles are an example of mechanical weathering of rock.

Freezing and thawing.
Physical weathering or mechanical weathering.
Frost weathering is a type of mechanical weathering that occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart. This process is common in areas with frequent freezing and thawing cycles.
Freezing and thawing is classified as a type of mechanical weathering, specifically known as frost wedging. This process occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes and expands, causing the rock to break apart over time.

Freezing And Thawing, Release of Preserve,Actions of Animals,plant growth,abrasion
Frost wedging is a form of mechanical weathering caused by the repeated freezing and thawing of water in cracks in rocks.
In mechanical weathering, rocks are broken down into smaller pieces without changing their composition. Mechanical weathering is caused by freezing and thawing, release of pressure, plant growth, action of animals, and abrasion.
Freezing or thawing are classified as mechanical weathering. Water dissolving and oxidation of chemicals in rock acid rain are classified as chemical weathering.
True. The freezing and thawing of water in cracks and pores of rocks exerts pressure that can cause rocks to crack and break apart. This is known as frost wedging and is a type of mechanical weathering.
