question 5
mechanical weathering process that occurs when water repeatedly freezes and thaws in the
cracks of rocks, often resulting in rocks splitting

frost wedging

exfoliation

chemical weathering

maj may

Explanation:

Frost wedging is a mechanical weathering process where water in rock cracks freezes (expanding) and thaws repeatedly, causing rocks to split. Exfoliation involves rock layers peeling due to pressure release, chemical weathering involves chemical changes, and "maj may" is irrelevant. So the correct option is frost wedging.

Answer:

A. frost wedging
