Why do crack in a rock get larger because water has frozen in them?
Weathering is the process which breaks rocks into smaller bits. This is one type of weatheringPhysical weathering is a physical action which breaks up rocks : An example of this is called freeze-thaw weathering when water gets into tiny cracks in rocks. When the water freezes it expands, if this is repeated the crack grows and bits eventually break off.
What is frozen water vapor on a surface called?
Frozen water vapor on a surface is called frost. It forms when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a surface that is below freezing temperature, causing it to freeze and form ice crystals.
What is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces?
Infiltration is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces.
Why when water in the crack in rocks freezes and expand?
Water will expand when heated. It it will also expand when frozen. Water seeping into narrow cracks in rock, could, when becoming frozen in winter, expand and force the narrow crack to become wider.
What are spears of frozen water called?
Spears of frozen water are called icicles. When water freezes as it drips down a surface, it forms elongated, pointed shapes that hang downward.
What do fish do when the water surface is frozen?
If the water surface is frozen, fish continue to swim.
How do rocks react to frozen water?
There is no react reaction to simple contact with ice. But since water expands when it freezes, any water that freezes in a crack will force that crack to become bigger and will slowly break the rock apart in a process called frost wedging.

Water works to expand joints in rocks because it expands as it evaporates true or false?
No. Water expands when it freezes, causing the rocks to crack and break.

Why does a frozen car windscreen crack when boiling water is poured on it?
melted
If A rock with a crack has frozen water in the crack the water melts what is this an example of?
If the crack has enlarged as a result of the freezing water, it is an example of a type of physical weathering known as ice wedging.
How can rocks be broken up in cold climate?
Because if the water goes in the crack and freeze, the crack will expand
How do I open a frozen car door?
Put luke-warm water on it. Boiling water will crack glass.
What Crack in earths surface that sprouts water?
geyser
Why does water freeze crack asphalt?
Water freezes and expands as ice, putting pressure on the asphalt surface. This pressure can exceed the strength of the asphalt, causing it to crack or break. Additionally, the repeated freezing and thawing cycles weaken the asphalt over time, leading to further cracking.
Is there any liquid water in the moon?
no Not on the surface; some speculate that there may be frozen water beneath the surface.
