During spring in Colorado, ice on the mountain tops melts into water. Some of this water gets trapped in cracks in the mountain rocks. With winter, the water in the cracks refreezes into ice. When water freezes, it expands. This often will cause the cracks in the rocks to grow, and eventually, pieces of rock break off. What type of weathering is taking place?
