Freeze- thaw weathering involves the breakdown of rock particles into smaller fragments through continuous fluctuations in the temperature of the water bodies. This form of weathering is common along coastlines. The water enters the rocks and then freezes when there is a decrease in temperature. The freezing expands the rock particles and aids frictions between the rock parts. This helps in the breakdown of the rocks to smaller particles.

It involves temperatures fluctuating around 0°C and is the dominant mechanical weathering process on coastlines

The Wallace Creek has been offset for about 130 meters but some south of Wallace Creek have a smaller offsets which is measured to be between 5 and 8 meters.

<h3>What is a Plate Boundary Earthquakes?</h3>

This refers to the earthquakes that occur along the fault lines and cracks in Earth's crust where tectonic plates meet.

The San Andreas Fault, Palmdale, CA is an example of a Plate Boundary Earthquakes.

However, the Wallace Creek has been offset for about 130 meters but some south of Wallace Creek have a smaller offsets which is measured to be between 5 and 8 meters.
