Frost wedging occurs when water seeps into a crack in a rock, freezes, and causes the crack in the rock to widen. true or false?

The statement is - True.

The frost wedging is one of the processes that contribute to the physical weathering of the rocks. Basically, if the rock has a crack, water manages to get into that crack. On the places where there's winters and the temperature drops bellow zero, the water in the crack of the rock freezes. Because the ice is expanding, it creates a lot of pressure inside the rock. Because of this pressure, the rock eventually cracks into two or more pieces. There have even been recorded cases where this form of weathering resulted in explosion of the rocks, where the pressure inside the rock was so big, that it has literary exploded, but that is very, very rare.

the principle of segregation describes how pairs of gene variants are separated into reproductive cells. from his data, mendel formulated the principle of segregation. we now know that the segregation of genes occurs during meiosis in eukaryotes, which is a process that produces reproductive cells called gametes.

reflection is the bouncing back of a propagating wave when it encounters a barrier; usually shows an image of the source of light wave

1) bounces back from an opaque material

2) bounces back from the boundary

3) seen in mirrors

refraction is the bending of a propagating wave having a shift of direction as it passes through different media; usually seen in lenses to magnify or lessen

1) passes through a prism

2) moves from one medium to another

3) seen in lenses
