6. Which property of water helps it to break apart large rocks into smaller rocks?

1 answer

The property of water that helps it break apart large rocks into smaller rocks is its ability to freeze and expand. When water freezes, it expands and exerts pressure on the rocks, causing them to crack and break apart over time. This is known as freeze-thaw weathering, and it is a significant process in the erosion and breakdown of rocks.
