Answer:
If water seeps into cracks within rocks, it can freeze and expand. Frost shattering is a type of mechanical weathering where we see the breakdown of rock due to the expansion of ice. If that water contains salt, the salt crystals left behind in the cracks can expand when exposed to heat and cause additional weathering.
