It's a form of weathering. If water gets into a crack in a rock and then freezes, it will expand, causing the crack to get bigger, which can happen continuously.

Earths crust is broken into plates called tectonic plates.  the plates move bc of  convection currents in the earths mantle.   convection currents are the movement caused with a liquid by the propencity of hotter and less dense matter to rise, and colder, thicker material to sink under the effect of gravitational pull, which as a result results in the transfer of heat.  As a result these are moved by the heat composed by the common natural blight of radioactive component in the earth.
