Water seeps into cracks and pores of rocks. When the water

​ (a)   it will ​ (b)   . This causes the rock to expand as well. The ​ (c)   will ​ (d)   then freeze again - over and over again. The melting and thawing slowly break the rock. Eventually, the thawing and freezing cycle will force the rock to split apart. This process continues over and over again, producing sediment in thousands to millions of years.

freezes

expand

ice

melt

Answer explanation

Water seeps into rock cracks and when it freezes, it expands. The ice then melts, and this freeze-thaw cycle gradually breaks the rock apart, producing sediment over thousands to millions of years.
