Question

how does frost cause weathring of rocks​

Answer 1

Answer:

Frost weathering occurs in the presence of water, particularly in areas where the temperature is near the freezing point of water. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or 0 degrees Celsius. This is particularly common in Alpine areas and around the edges of glaciers. When water freezes, it expands, so when liquid water seeps into a crevice in the rock or soil and freezes, its expansion can cause deeper cracks in the rock and eventually break pieces off.

Answer 2

Answer:

When water gets into crack and joints into bedrock. When the water freezes it expands and the cracks are opened a little wider . Overtime pieces of rocks can spilit off a rock face and big boulder are broken into smaller rock and gravel
