Answer:

Frost wedging is a form of physical weathering that involves the physical breaking of a rock. It typically occurs in areas with extremely cold conditions with sufficient rainfall. The repeated freezing and thawing of water found in the cracks of rocks (called joints) pushes the rock to the breaking point.

Freeze wedging is caused by the repeated freeze-thaw. Frost wedging occurs as the result of 9 % expansion of water when it is converted to ice.
