hey the other person is a mean person so im here to improve on this answer :D. 1 similarity is that the plant growth and the ice wedge both break apart the rock causing the rock to expand and eventually cut into half. Hope this helped you!
What else can I help you with?
What are some differences between ice wedging and plant root growth in a rock?
in ice wedging, water gets into cracks in rocks and freezes. As it turns into ice, it expands. this cause the rock to be pushed off. In plant root growth, the roots get into the cracks and grow bigger. this also causes the rock to break off. I hope I somehow helped you :)
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
How is mechanical weathering caused by ice wedging similar to mechanical weathering caused by plant roots?
because iits formed by it difrent minarels
How do ice wedging pressure release plant root growth and abrasion cause mechanical weathering?
Ice wedging: When water freezes it expands, causing the rock it is on to crack or bust. Plant root growth: A plants root can move a rock or pull AA rock up from the ground, exposing it to erosion (or also known as, surface area) Abrasion: The act of something wearing down a rock by friction. (Not too sure about pressure release)
What are three types of mechanical weathering give an example of each?
Frost wedging: Water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart. Root wedging: Plant roots grow into cracks in rocks, exerting pressure as they expand and break the rock. Abrasion: Rock fragments carried by wind, water, or ice rub against the surface of rocks, wearing them down over time.

What is the definition of root wedging?
Root wedging is when a plant acts as an agent of mechanical weathering. As the roots grow, they secrete this weakly acidic substance that slowly dissolves the rock around it, giving the plant's roots space to expand and grow.
Is a type of weather where rock is dissolved by an acid?
Carbonationfrost wedging
What is the cause of root wedging?
Root wedging is caused by plant roots growing into small crevices in rocks. As the roots grow, they expand, exerting pressure on the surrounding rock and causing it to break apart. Over time, this process can lead to the fragmentation and weathering of the rock.
What is it called when water enters a crack in a rock and freezes?
Ice Wedging Or Frost Wedging

How do plants mechanically weather rock?
The roots of certain plants can break or crack into a rock, making the rock more susceptible to frost wedging (ice wedging).
How is mechanical weathering caused by ice wedging similar to mechanical weathering caused by plant roots?
because iits formed by it difrent minarels
What type of weathering causes root wedging?
Root wedging is caused by physical weathering, where plant roots grow into cracks in rocks and exert pressure as they expand, gradually breaking the rock apart.
