Frost wedging is a type of physical weathering of rock.

Explanation:

Physical or mechanical weathering affects the rock structurally but does not change the chemical composition. Mechanical forces will rub, break or shatter the rock surfaces. Wedging, abrasion, exfoliation are different types of physical weathering.

Water is one of the main sources which alter the structure of the rocks physically.

Frost wedging occurring due to flow of freezing water over the rocks. This frozen water enters the rock through the cracks and crevices on the rock surface,  and will expand inside and makes the rocks to crack further and breaks it apart.

choli [55]

Answer:

High in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases. ... A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.
