forest wedging is example of physical weathering process which water expands upon freezing by 10%
No, forest wedging does not directly form exfoliation domes. Exfoliation domes are typically formed due to variations in temperature causing expansion and contraction of rocks, leading to concentric slabs peeling off the rock surface. Forest wedging, on the other hand, refers to the action of tree roots widening existing joints or cracks in rocks.

Yes, ice wedging and frost wedging are terms often used interchangeably to describe the mechanical weathering process where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rocks to break apart.
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.
