Question 334 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Which correctly lists the three processes that are affected by freeze and thaw cycles?

Answer
A
creep, landslide, and deposition
B
deposition, creep, and weathering
C
landslide, slump, and deposition
D
slump, weathering, and creep

Explanation

Freeze and thaw cycles cause mechanical weathering: water enters cracks, freezes and expands, then thaws, gradually breaking rock apart. The resulting loose material can move downhill slowly by creep or rapidly in a slump. Deposition is the settling of transported material, not a process directly caused by freeze and thaw cycles.
