Question

Which describes the physical weathering of rock by water

Answer 1

Explanation:

Physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller chunks in nature.

Water is one of the agents that causes physical weathering.

• during periods of low temperature especially the summer, water usually collects within rock cavities.
• When temperature drops, the water freezes and expands.
• Periodic freezing and thawing of ice leads to physical weathering.
• Also, in tropical regions, alternate wetting and drying of rocks occur.
• When a rock is wet, it absorbs more water and it volume expands.
• Drying occurs and it loses the water.
• This continuous process leaves cracks in rock.
