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.

I hope this is the type of answer you wanted. :)

i can help you with a lot jus add me

ANSWER:

Water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, then expands (since ice occupies a slightly larger volume than liquid water). This expansion pushes the sides of the cracks further apart. ... Rocks can slowly break down by a mechanism known as freeze-thaw weathering, or alternatively, frost wedging.

Explain how scale is used on a map and why it is an important tool
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Scale on a map is important in order to give the map reader a sense of size. Maps are just about always smaller than what they really represent, and scale is a way of quantifying how much smaller they are.

First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.
