What else can I help you with?
Explian the four types of mechanical weathering?
The four types of mechanical weathering are frost wedging (freeze-thaw cycles causing cracks in rocks to expand), exfoliation (peeling away of outer layers due to pressure release), thermal expansion (rocks expanding and contracting due to temperature changes), and root wedging (roots growing in cracks and breaking apart rocks).
What process is not related to chemical weathering?
frost wedging
Weathering that does not cause chemical changes is called?
Mechanical weathering. It refers to the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without altering their chemical composition. This can occur through processes such as frost wedging, abrasion, and root wedging.
Is frost wedging an example of erosion?
Yes, frost wedging is a form of erosion. It occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart over time. This process is a common form of mechanical weathering that contributes to the breakdown of rocks.
What is it called when water in rocks freezes?
This process could either be called Freezing/Thawing or Ice Wedging. Ice Wedging splits the rock when water seeps into cracks then freezes and expands.
How is frost wedging similar to root wedging?
they are both a type of physical weathering and both may break rock through a crack or a crevice. Frost wedging is when water enters a crack and may freeze causing the crack to expand because when water freezes it contrasts and expands. Root wedging is when a plant grows through a crack causing the roots to expand and break through the rock. -michael yap
Does water contract when it freezes causing frost wedging?
No, frost wedging is caused by water expanding, not contracting.
What is it called when water enters a crack in a rock and freezes?
Ice Wedging Or Frost Wedging
What is another name for frost wedging?
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.

What is the one type of frost action?
The one type of frost action is frost wedging, which occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart.

Could frost wedging be considered organic?
yes it can
