Abstract
Rock decay in cold climates is a significant necessary precursor to the removal of material from the landscape and thus overall denudation of the landscape and formation of a diversity of landforms. The processes operating are fundamentally the same as those to be found in other, milder climatic environments, not precluding the possibility that other uniquely cold climate processes may occur that are not presently unknown. While typically considered separately, mechanical, chemical, and biological rock decay processes operate synergistically in cold environments, like all other climatic regimes, to facilitate rock decay.
