Percolation
This is known as percolation or groundwater recharge.
Through a process called infiltration: water that seeps into the soil is called groundwater.
It is a form of weathering known as frost wedging.
Plants - The roots and branches start to grown in cracks and whatnot and expand the rock with its wood.Ice- Water expands when it freezing.Water seeps into cracks and then freezes , expanding the rock.., ice wedging or frost actionPlants and ice have power!
The process by which ice widens and deepens cracks in a rock is called frost wedging. This occurs when water seeps into the cracks in the rock, freezes, and expands, causing the crack to widen and deepen over time.
When rainwater seeps through cracks in rocks, it is called infiltration.
Seawater seeps into the ocean floor through cracks in the crust

Water that seeps into the ground is called groundwater. It is stored in the pores and cracks of rocks and soil beneath the Earth's surface. Groundwater can be a vital source of drinking water and supports ecosystems by maintaining streamflow and wetlands.
Ice naturally makes cracks when it is frozen. Not large cracks, but cracks. Water seeps in through these cracks and freezes them. The crack expands due to the frozen water, or new ice. The cycle continues over and over again until the piece of ice finally breaks.
The type of physical weathering that occurs when water seeps into cracks of rock and freezes is called frost wedging. As the water freezes, it expands, exerting pressure on the rock and causing it to disintegrate. Over time, this repetitive process can break the rock into smaller fragments.
Frost Weathering!
causing it to break down into smaller pieces through a process called frost wedging. When water seeps into cracks in the rock and freezes, it expands, exerting pressure on the rock and causing it to fracture. Over time, repeated freezing and thawing can lead to the disintegration of the rock into smaller fragments.
