What is a hole or crack in rock or ice that rhymes with service?
Crevasse, sometimes wrongly spelled, "Crevice".
Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock considered weathering or erosion?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
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.
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).
How ice wedging can break apart?
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.
What word means a hole or crack in rock or ice?
Fissure

Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock erosion or weathering?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
Is ice freezing in a crack of a rock considered weathering or erosion?
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
What happens when ice grows in rocks?
As water in the crack turns into ice, the ice expands and may widen the crack, even splitting the rock.
What happens when water enters a crack of a rock and freezes in it?
When water enters a crack in a rock and freezes, it expands as it turns into ice. The force of the ice expanding can exert stress on the surrounding rock, causing the crack to widen or the rock to break apart. Over time, repeated cycles of freezing and thawing can lead to the disintegration of the rock.
What happends to water in a rock a it change from liquid water to ice?
It does what all water does when it freezes: expands. This will crack the rock.
How can freezing water crack boulders?
When water turns from liquid water to solid ice it expands in volume. If the water is in a crack in the rock the force of this expansion can force the crack to widen and, over time, break the rock.
Is ice forming in a crack in a rock a cause of erosion?
Yes, ice forming in a crack in a rock can contribute to erosion through a process called frost wedging. As the water in the crack freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the rock and causing it to fragment over time. This repeated freeze-thaw cycle can lead to the widening and deepening of the crack, ultimately causing the rock to break apart.
Explain how ice-wedging can weather a rock?
Ice-wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in a rock, freezes, expands, and widens the crack. As the water repeatedly freezes and thaws, the crack will continue to expand due to the pressure exerted by the ice. Over time, this process can cause the rock to break apart into smaller pieces.
What drug begins with the letter m?
Methamphetamine: Crystal Meth, Ice, Rock, Crack
What is it called when water enters a crack in a rock and freezes?
Ice Wedging Or Frost Wedging
