How does liquid water cause weathering?





Group of answer choices

Water deposits sand onto mountains causing weathering.

Rivers carry sediment that grinds against rocks

Water melts the rocks down into smaller pieces

Rivers rush through the rocks

Answer :

Water, in either liquid or solid form, is often a key agent of mechanical weathering. For instance, liquid water can seep into cracks and crevices in rock. If temperatures drop low enough, the water will freeze. ... Changes in temperature cause rock to expand (with heat) and contract (with cold).
