Answer:

There are two possible situations.
1) If a phase change is not occurring, then the heat added contributes to increased translational energy of the particles. What that means is the particles move/vibrate faster.
2) If a phase change is occurring, then the heat added contributes to the breaking of bonds or intermolecular forces (depending on the chemical nature of the matter you're dealing with).
It depends if your talking about science or math but It could be both if it says something about weathering which is what causes a rock to break it might be chemical ill comment and tell you the correct answer
