Frost shattering is due to temperature fluctuations. During the day when the temperatures are warm, water settles into cracks in rocks. At night the water freezes and causes the cracks to widen. Eventually this causes pieces of rock to shatter from the main rock, this is called frost shattered peaks.

"Frost shattered peaks" refer to mountains or high elevation areas where frost action has caused the rock to break and shatter into angular pieces due to repeated freezing and thawing cycles. The expansion of water when it freezes exerts pressure on the rock, leading to its disintegration over time. These shattered peaks often have a rugged and jagged appearance as a result of this natural process.
