Answer:

c.

Explanation:

This process is known as frost weather or frost wedging and happens on a yearly basis in many mid-latitude locations. In the subpolar and polar regions, frost wedging can be a daily occurrence.

The weather happens in two stages. First, water droplets squeeze into pore spaces of the soil or in tiny existing fractures in rocks. Because water expands when it freezes, the crystals of water become enlarged and force the rock apart slowly.

You will be asked to give examples of the 3 types of Isostatic Rebound, Sediment Deposition, or Erosion that has impacted the wa
VMariaS [17]
Isostatic rebound occurs when a load is imposed on or removed from the lithosphere. The surface tends to rise or sink as the lithosphere rises or sinks in the asthenosphere. Loads may consist of large lakes, oceans (on continental shelves during eustatic sea level rise), ice, sediment, thrust sheets, and volcanoes.

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
