Match

• frost heaving

• The splitting of rock when ice freezes /unfreezes repeatedly

• frost wedging

• The lifting of rock or soil by the expansion of freezing water.

• exfoliation

• A process which removes overlying layers (they peel like layers of an onion).

• abrasion

• The grinding away of rock by other rock particles carried in water, ice, or wind (such as river rock)
