Each spring, a crevice in the cliff wall widens and deepens. What is the best explanation for how physical weathering causes the crevice to widen and deepen?

Water freezes and expands in the crevice.

Snow melts and evaporates between the rocks in the crevice.

Air pollution in the area causes a reaction that widens the crevice.
