The correct answer is "a type of physical weathering that occurs due to temperature changes." Frost wedging is a process of physical weathering that occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands. The expansion of the freezing water exerts pressure on the rocks, causing them to crack and break apart. This process is mainly driven by temperature changes, particularly freezing and thawing cycles. So, the phrase that best describes frost wedging is "a type of physical weathering that occurs due to temperature changes."
