How does ice break rock?
It can do this in two ways. # The Ice can hold rocks in itself and rub these (like sandpaper) across other rocks as it moves, this causes the rocks being rubbed together to break.This is called abrasion. # It can also break rock as it freezes, this is because when water freezes it expands and thus if water enters a crack in a rock then freezes in the crack the ice will try to force the crack open and over time this breaks up the rock. This is called freeze-thaw.
What causes the road surface to crack during winter?
Road surface cracks on winter because, water in the ground forms ice during winter, expanding to form cracks.
Wind water and ice are causes of?
Wind, ice, and water are the causes of erosion
How does ice cause weathering and erosion?
I am not sure :P :The formation of ice from water (the process of freezing) can create a type of mechanical weathering called frost (or ice) wedging. Water percolates into cracks in a rock. Then as the temperature drops (perhaps overnight), the water turns to ice. The crystallization process causes the water to expand as the ice crystals develop. Tens of thousands of pounds of pressure are created as the ice forms. This force causes the crack in the rock to expand, thus breaking the rock into smaller pieces.
Why does ice crack in liquid?
Water expands when frozen. When you put it in water that is warmer the ice wants to melt and get smaller. This puts uneven stress on the ice and causes it to crack. One section shrinks faster than another part.
What causes ice on a pond to melt?

What causes ice in a crack in a rock and makes the rock split?

Why do ice cubes explode in drink?
Ice cubes explode in a drink because they are melting at a fast rate. The ice cannot contract fast enough to keep up with the melting, which causes it to crack.

Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock erosion or weathering?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
What happens when ice grows in rocks?
As water in the crack turns into ice, the ice expands and may widen the crack, even splitting the rock.
Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock considered weathering or erosion?
