A crack in a rock can fill with water which then freezes as the temperature drops. As the ice expands, it pushes the crack apart, making it larger. |
Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when rocks are porous (has holes) or permeable (allows water to pass through). It is an example of Mechanical Weathering. |
In this review, a series of laboratory and in-situ field tests are presented to illustrate the present-day methods to assess freeze-thaw weathering. |

Freeze-thaw action is the most common form of mechanical weathering. It occurs in cold climates and in upland areas, where the temperatures regularly rise ... |
freeze-thaw action. The water in materials such as poorly drained or porous masonry (or in any other such material) may alternately freeze and thaw in winter. |
Freeze Thaw action is an example of mechanical weathering. It is also called Frost Shattering and occurs when rock disintegrates (breaks up) |
