The height  of a mountain/ area above sea level.

1. Water - eg from rainfall or melting snow and ice - becomes trapped in a crack or joint in the rock.
2. If the temperature drops below freezing, the water will freeze and expand  and put pressure on the rock.
3. The ice will melt when the temperature rises above freezing.
4. If this process happens repeatedly, the rock will weaken and eventually shatter.

A type of erosion where melt water in the glacier freezes onto rocks, and as the ice moves forward it plucks or pulls out large pieces along the rock joints.

Erosion caused by rocks and boulders in the base of the glacier acting like a giant file scratching and scraping the rocks below.
