Ice wedging is a process where water seeps into cracks in rocks or soil, freezes, expands, and causes the cracks to grow larger. This process is most likely to occur in colder climates with fluctuating temperatures, where freeze-thaw cycles are common, such as in polar regions or high mountain areas.
