Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

Weathering is a process of disintegration or breakdown of the rocks into pieces or parts by the action of a physical or chemical agent. Ice wedging or frost wedging is a process of physical weathering which is caused by a physical agent that is water. In region exhibiting the cold temperatures the water present inside the rocks becomes ice. This disturbs the internal structure of the rock. The ice exerts pressure around the surrounding rock structure which leads to the disintegration of the rock by the process of weathering.

On the basis of the above explanation, the given statement is false.
