A big rock that is larger than most rocks is often referred to as a "boulder." Boulders are typically defined as rock fragments that are larger than 256 millimeters (about 10 inches) in diameter. They can be found in various natural settings and are often shaped by geological processes over time.

If you have two rocks rock A and rock B Rock A is bigger but has the same mass as rock B How will the density of the two rocks compare?
Since rock A is bigger but has the same mass as rock B, it will have a lower density compared to rock B. Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume, so the larger volume of rock A will result in a lower density.
What do you call rock fragments inside other rocks?

What is the effect on rocks in cold weather?
If it is cold, say, in Alaska, the most common effect on rocks is frost wedging. Frost wedging is when water gets in a crack in the rock, and the water freezes, making the rock crack a little more. When water keeps on going into the crack, and the ice gets bigger, it eventually will separate the rock into two or more parts, making the rock into many little rocks.
