How does water split a rock?
Rain water seeps into any cracks in the rock. When the water freezes in winter, the ice expands and the force can be strong enough to split the rock.
Air enters the rock cracks?
Yes, air will enter rock cracks. But, if water fills the crack, during a deep freeze, the expansion of the water, as ice forms, will often widen the crack (even to split the rock).
What causes ice in a crack in a rock and makes the rock split?
Ice expanding in the crack as it freezes can exert pressure and force the crack to widen, eventually causing the rock to split. This process, known as freeze-thaw weathering, is a common geological phenomenon that occurs in areas with fluctuating temperatures.
Why does ice split rock?
the water gets into cracks of the rock then over time if the water doesn't evaporate it freezes and expands. When the ice expands the crack gets bigger when the crack gets big enough it splits the entire rock
Why rock is heated forms magma?
The rock melts, just like most other solids do when heated. Magma is to rock as water is to ice.

How doe ice wedging weathers rock?
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)
What forms a belt with the asteroids between mars and Jupiter?
chuncks of ice and rock

What material makes up the planets rings?
mostly ice rock and dust
What makes up the outer planets?
Gas but pluto is made out of ice and rock
