What is the process of freeze-thaw weathering?

This is where water enters the cracks on rocks and then during time of decreased temperatures the water freezes. As it freezes, the water expands which places a lot of pressure on the rocks around it. This pressure can then cause rocks to crack, creating potentially large holes in the surface.
