Best Answer

In the cycle of ice wedging, water seeps into cracks in rocks during warm periods, freezes and expands when temperatures drop, putting pressure on the cracks, widening them. This repeated freeze-thaw cycle causes the rock to break apart over time, leading to the formation of progressively larger cracks and ultimately the breakdown of the rock into smaller fragments.
