These rocks were broken apart from the continuous freezing/ thawing of water in the cracks of the rock. This is an example of:

• ice wedging

• permeability

• acid rain

• abrasion

How does freezing water cause the weathering of rocks? The freezing water ______

• keeps the rocks in place.

• makes the rocks last longer.

• expands cracks and breaks rocks.

• causes rocks to fall.

How do plants weather rocks?

• photosynthesis

• when the plants moves water from the roots to the leaves

• when roots grow into cracks of rocks and expand the rock

• movement of minerals

• ocean

• river

• stream
