    I believe it is an example of frost action. A frost action is a type of mechanical weathering-as water freezes it expands which causes an increase in pressure and a crack, joint or fracture as the ice expands. Repeated freezing and thawing of the water may lead to fragmentation of the rock or frost/ice wedging.
