Answer:

Freeeze-thaw weathering

Explanation:

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

What are three ethical safeguards used in psychology research?
Viktor [21]

First, there were two independent clinical psychologists who were present or on call 24 hours a day. They had the power to intervene and to remove anyone from the study if they thought they were in distress.

Second, we had paramedics and security guards on hand and ready to intervene at a moment’s notice if anything untoward happened in the study.

Third, the study was constantly monitored by members of a five-person independent ethics panel. This was chaired by a Member of Parliament and also included members of the Holocaust Educational Trust, the Howard League for Penal Reform, the BBC’s Independent Editorial Policy Unit and a senior academic psychologist. This committee had the power to change the way the study as a whole was run and to terminate it if they had ethical concerns.
