Weathering

$A rock in Abisko, Sweden fractured along existing joints possibly by frost weathering or thermal stress$

Wave action and water chemistry lead to structural failure in exposed rocks

Pressure release could have caused the exfoliated granite sheets shown in the picture.

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil and minerals as well as artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, biota and waters. Weathering occurs in situ, roughly translated to: "with no movement", and thus should not be confused with erosion, which involves the movement of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity and then being transported and deposited in other locations.
