Frost Wedging: How Freezing Water Causes Rock Weathering

Yes, water freezing in the cracks of exposed rocks is a source of physical weathering.

When water seeps into cracks in rocks and then freezes, it expands and exerts pressure on the surrounding rock. This pressure can cause the rock to break and crumble, a process known as frost wedging. Frost wedging is a common form of physical weathering that occurs in cold climates.
