उत्तर
Mechanical weathering
Explanation:
When the water solidifies and becomes frost, its volume and dimensions increases. The particles of water expand. When the temperature falls below 0 ̊ and becomes negative, the water that has accumulated in the crevices and joints of the rock freezes. This created pressure within the rocks resulting in its weathering.
