| frost shattering frostsprængning Explanation: Fra earthfacts.net forstår jeg frosterosion som to processer, hvoraf den ene er frostsprængning - frost shattering: "Water expands when it freezes, the expansion being accompanied by great outward pressure (it is this pressure that bursts pipes when the water in them freezes). This expansive force of frost can affect exposed terrain in two ways: rock may be broken into smaller fragments by freezing water expanding in its joints (a process called frost shattering), or the ground may be caused to expand and contract alternatively, known as frost heaving." Gyldendals åbne encyklopædi, den store danske, defineres frostsprængning: "frostsprængning, fysiske forvitringsprocesser, der skyldes gentagen frysning og optøning af vand indesluttet i porer og sprækker i de yderste mm af fx klipper eller facader. Ved frysningen undergår vand 9% rumfangsudvidelse og udsætter hulrummene for tryk. Ved optøning sker en tilsvarende aflastning. De gentagne trykvariationer svækker i tidens løb den faste overflade, der på et tidspunkt sønderdeles." Example sentence(s):
