Frost wedging
Explanation:
Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.
Some agents of weathering are wind, water, glacier and gravity.
- In physical weathering, rocks are broken down mechanically into smaller bit.
- Freezing and thawing allows for the propagation of physical weathering.
- Water within cracks will expand when they freeze significantly.
- This will further expand and widen the cracks.
- When the ice thaws the stress is relieved.
- When the process continues on and on over the year, a rock will eventually break down.
- This is common around the temperate and polar regions.

The law of conservation of energy is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred or transformed from one form to another (including transformation into or from mass, as matter). The total amount of energy in a closed system never changes. energy in a system may be transformed so that it resides in a different state.
Common denominator - Find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).
Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.
Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
Least common denominator - You do the same thing for the common denominator
The Gibbs free energy describes the spontaneity of the chemical reaction. The reaction involving nitroglycerine is spontaneous.
<h3>What is spontaneity?</h3>
Spontaneity is the condition of the reaction that continuously makes the product without adding input energy again and again. It is determined by the Gibbs free energy of the system.
When the Gibbs free energy of the thermodynamic system is negative then the reaction is said to be exothermic and is a spontaneous reaction. The negative Gibbs free energy of nitroglycerine at 273 K shows spontaneity.
Therefore, the reaction is spontaneous.

Sublimation is the process of a solid turning into a gas without becoming a liquid in the process. The particles must quickly spread out from the condensed solid to a spread out gas. This can be achieved by applying a lot of heat at once to vaporize the solid.
