Give geographical reasons:Frost leads to mechanical weathering.

Answer»
  • In areas where the temperatures drop below 0°C for quite some time, the water accumulated in the cracks and crevices in the rocks freezes. 
  • The volume of water increases on freezing. 
  • This leads to tension in the rocks and they shatter.
  • In this way frost leads to mechanical weathering.
