The term for the process described is ice wedging.
The term for the process of water seeping into the cracks of a rock, freezing, and eventually breaking the rock is called "ice wedging." This process is a type of physical weathering, where the expansion of water as it freezes creates enough force to widen the crack and break the rock apart. Ice wedging is a common natural phenomenon that occurs in cold climates where freezing and thawing cycles take place. So, the correct answer is "ice wedging."
