Yes it could because the world is made up of rock, soil and magma so that could be the end of the world so don't have cracks in the winter.
Ice wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks or soil, freezes, and expands, creating pressure that forces the crack to widen. With repeated cycles of freezing and thawing, the crack will continue to expand and eventually break apart the rock or soil through a process known as frost 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.
Ice wedging and growing roots are both natural processes that contribute to the weathering of rocks and soil. Ice wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart. Similarly, plant roots grow into cracks and crevices, exerting pressure as they expand, which can also lead to the fracturing of rocks. Both processes illustrate how natural forces can break down materials over time.
Ice wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and creates stress on the rock. This repeated freezing and thawing cycle eventually causes the rock to break apart into smaller pieces. The broken fragments can further break down into soil particles through continued weathering processes.

Yes, ice wedging and frost wedging are terms often used interchangeably to describe the mechanical weathering process where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rocks to break apart.
Another name for frost wedging is ice wedging. This process occurs when water freezes in cracks and crevices in rocks, causing them to expand and eventually break apart.

The roots of certain plants can break or crack into a rock, making the rock more susceptible to frost wedging (ice wedging).
Ice wedging
wedges of ice widen and deepen cracks in a rock, and can even break the rock into two at some point.
Ice wedging breaks the rock apart. Water goes into cracks in the rock and when it freezes, it expands. This can cause rocks to split and eventually break. (see the related link)

Ice wedging is a type of mechanical 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.
Ice wedging is a form of mechanical weathering caused by water entering cracks in rocks, freezing, expanding, and eventually causing the rock to break apart. Living organisms can also contribute to weathering by burrowing, expanding their roots, or releasing acids that break down rocks chemically. The combination of ice wedging and biological weathering can accelerate the breakdown of rocks and contribute to soil formation.
