-- Structural deterioration.-- Stunted vegetation.-- Soil erosion.-- 'Weathering' of rock and land forms.
Weathering from mechanical and chemical means is the process that causes rocks to become smaller and smaller; wind, rain, the sun, the freeze/thaw cycle, moving glaciers, chemical reactions, and gravity are some of the causes of weathering.
Ice freezing in a crack of a rock is considered weathering.
The term for ice breaking apart a rock is freeze-thaw weathering. This process occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rock to break apart.
Chemical weathering
the causes of weathering are water, wind, and ice. -your welcome.
Glaciers
Water-Precpitation, Run-off, Collection; Expanding Ice; Wind/Abrasion; Gravity are the four main forms of weathering.
Ice wedging is a form of mechanical weathering.

Physical weathering is any process that causes erosion. Volcanic eruptions, wind, precipitation and earthquakes are the most common forms.
The three main causes of weathering are physical weathering (e.g. wind, water, and ice), chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation and hydrolysis), and biological weathering (e.g. plant roots and burrowing animals). These processes break down rocks and minerals into smaller particles over time.
Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and creates pressure that can cause the rock to fracture or break apart. This process is common in regions with climates that experience freezing temperatures.
The type of weathering that causes Ice Wedging is Mechanical/ Physical Weathering.
Ice wedging is physical weathering. As water freezes it grows, so when water flows into cracks or holes and then freezes it causes the water to expand, which brakes apart whatever it seeped into.
There are many causes of weathering. Some of the main causes of weathering are:Thermal stressFrost weatheringOcean wavesPressure releaseSalt-crystal growthBiological effects
