What are two ways that mechanical weathering changes rocks?
Ice live
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.
What causes glacial groove?
Glacial grooves are caused by the ice picking up boulders and scraping them across the bedrock.
What are 2 similarities between ice wedging and plant root growth in rocks?
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 often causes potholes in streets?
ice wedging
What ice wedging?

The process by which ice widens and deepens cracks in rocks is called?
Ice wedging
Why does ice wedging cause potholes?
Ice wedging causes potholes by expanding cracks in pavement when water seeps into them, freezes, and expands. This repeated cycle of freezing and thawing weakens the pavement, leading to the formation of potholes.
How does ice wedging relate to mechanical weathering?
Ice wedging is a type of mechanical weathering.
What are abrasion and ice wedging?
Abrasion is the process of rocks and sediment wearing away by the actions of water, wind, or ice carrying and rubbing particles against the surface. Ice wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rock to break apart over time as the ice expands.
Does ice wedging often causes potholes in streets?
Ice wedging is not a common cause of potholes in streets. Potholes are typically formed due to a combination of factors such as weathering, traffic, and poor road maintenance. Ice wedging primarily occurs in natural environments where water freezes and expands in cracks in rocks or soil.
What are the four causes of mechanical weathering?
ice wedging pressure release plant root growth and abrasion
Ice wedging is a form of chemical weathering.?
Ice wedging is actually a physical weathering process, not chemical. It occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rock to break apart over time.
What type of weathering can ice wedging cause?
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
What is the process by which ice widens and deepens cracks in rock in called?
The general term for this is "erosion".
What does ice do to rocks?
It breaks from ice wedging
