Cryoclastism is a geological process that involves the mechanical weathering of rocks due to the expansion of water when it freezes. When water infiltrates cracks in rocks and subsequently freezes, it expands, exerting pressure on the surrounding rock. This repeated freeze-thaw cycle can lead to the fragmentation and breakdown of the rock over time. Cryoclastism is particularly significant in cold climates where temperatures frequently fluctuate around the freezing point.
