This specific process is called frost weathering or cryofracturing. It is a situation when Water collects in small cracks in a rock, then freezes. and caused the rock to crack and break off in pieces.

<h3>What is frost weathering?</h3>

Frost weathering is physical weathering that involves freezing and thawing of waters in an area with extremely cold weather. When water freezes its size expands and damages the area.

Its best example is when water collects in small in a rock then freezes. The expansion of the water while frozen causes the rock to break into pieces.

Therefore the Forst weathering is from of physical weathering.

Weather is a complex phenomena. in order to solve engineering problems such as the prediction of weather, we utilize degrees of freedom (DoF)... weather is one of the many elements that need millions of DoF and still cannot accurately predict it. mainly it's a vector analysis much akin to finite element analysis where each micro degree of freedom or say molecule of air is represented as one point interconnected in a web of points and each point's properties are altered relatively (similar principles how autonomous mini drones coordinate synchoronously) to each other.

many factors are considered: pressure, temperature and density of the air for sure. friction factors. drag factors. rotation of the earth. and that's the natural phenomena. include the heat given off the land, the radiation from the sun, airplanes, people, etc... its highly complicated. having done a weather station project, it's fair to say that there isn't a simple answer to your simple question. we measured wind direction, wind current, temp and humidity, visibility, pressure, etc... and we couls measure these things, but can't really say why say the wind went east or west... except tell you that its because of millions of degrees of freedom interacting with each other simultaneously and some things like weather are just like that.

Where does the thermal energy to melt Earth's inner rock come from?​
arlik [135]

the process by which Earth makes heat is called radioactive decay. it involves the disintegration of natural radioactive elements inside Earth. ex; uranium is a special kind of element because when it decays, heat is produced from it
