How does freezing water cause the weathering of rocks?

The freezing water—

• keeps the rocks in place

• makes the rocks last longer

• causes rocks to fall in landslides

• expands, cracks, and breaks rocks

What is the correct order of the processes?

• weathering, deposition, erosion

• weathering, erosion deposition

• erosion, weathering, deposition

• They all happen at the exact same time
