The following information is about Frost Wedging.

Frost Wedging Defined

Caused by the repeated freeze-thaw cycle of water in extreme climates. Water seeps into the joint or cracks in rocks. When it then freezes, the expanding ice places pressure on the joints in the rock. Finally, when the pressure is too much, the joint expands. In some cases, the rock will split, though this usually happens after repeated freeze and thaws. As new water is added during the warmer days, more ice is created at night, wedging the joints apart further

This definition is in context to Geography. See more contextual defintions for Frost Wedging.
