What form of weathering is best shown in the picture?

• Root Pry

• Heat Expansion

• Pressure

Based on the image, which type of weathering is most responsible?

• Pressure

• Abrasion

• Root Wedging

• Frost Wedging

Answer explanation

The deep and light scratches on the rock tell use some sort of sediment was dragged over this rock - most likely a glacier carrying rocks.
