Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Granular disintegration, also known as granular disintegration, occurs when rocks break down into smaller and smaller pieces due to mechanical weathering. Frost wedging is a common type of mechanical weathering that results from the repeated freezing and thawing of water within cracks and crevices in rocks. As the water freezes, it expands and exerts pressure on the surrounding rock, causing it to fragment into smaller pieces. Therefore, frost wedging is the most closely associated with granular disintegration.
