The stone bearing the inscription continued to deteriorate and through
frost action exfoliated and was lost.
He recognized the unique influences that permafrost and seasonal
frost action exert on soil properties, which include the burial of surface organic matter into the uppermost permafrost.
By turning over the soil, buried bugs in cocoon, larva case, or in their egg stage are exposed to being fed upon by birds and mice, as well as
frost action. Leave the soil surface unraked to catch late fall rains, allow for beneficial
frost action, and loosened soil will dry out and warm faster next spring.
Under natural processes, both species exploit gaps in the vegetation produced by small-scale disturbances, such as
frost action and wind erosion, to survive (Hermanutz et al.
Each spring, new ones would appear as a result of
frost action. Most fields were small, so that stones didn't have to be carried far.
Each anchoring method requires that the posts of the amenity resist
frost action. Certain amenities may require that conduit for supplying electrical wiring or reinforcing be placed when frost footings are poured.
This lower stonework will again be vulnerable to
frost action, as well as being stained by the dirty water run-off.
Weathering phenomena may be physical; through
frost action or thermal expansion, chemical; through dissolution, hydrolysis, oxidation, or biological; through acid secretions from lichen growth.
Frost action had caused the concrete floors in the plant's ice-storage rooms to heave upward, and they needed to be repaired.
Wood's buffering ability, along with it's natural resiliency, resists the
frost action that can eventually shatter harder materials like concrete and stone.
