a rock that is under the surface of the ground has a crack in it. as a tree grows nearby, the roots begin to
blank the cracks. as the roots grow larger over time, the cracks in the rock get
blank as well.
eventually, the rock can
blank. this is known as
blank weathering.
options: grow away from, grow into, smaller, break apart, freeze - thaw, physical, larger, grow taller

Explanation:

1. First blank: Tree roots grow into cracks of rocks (not away from or taller, as roots enter cracks). So "grow into".
2. Second blank: As roots grow larger, cracks get larger (not smaller). So "larger".
3. Third blank: With larger cracks, rock can break apart (physical weathering by roots). So "break apart".
4. Fourth blank: This is physical weathering (due to root growth, a physical process, not freeze - thaw). So "physical".

Answer:

First blank: grow into
Second blank: larger
Third blank: break apart
Fourth blank: physical
