Answer:

B. Minerals in rocks heat and expand at different rates, which causes rocks to break.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process of transformation and wear of rocks and soils, through chemical, physical and biological processes. Its dynamics happens through the action of so-called exogenous or external agents of transformation of relief, such as water, wind, temperature and living beings.

Temperature is a factor that causes the physical wear and tear of rocks through the action of the sun. In this process, the minerals in the rocks heat up and expand at different rates, which causes the rocks to break.

The heat of the Sun reduces the amplitude of the relief as climatic mechanisms cause mechanical and chemical transformations, translated into weathering processes, which form new minerals and break up rocks, and erosion and sedimentation, which sculpt and mold new forms of relief.

Stells [14]
In the Northern Hemisphere, winter generally begins on December 21 or 22. This is the winter solstice, the day of the year with the shortest period of daylight. Summer begins on June 20 or 21, the summer solstice, which has the most daylight of any day in the year. Spring and fall, or autumn, begin on equinoxes, days that have equal amounts of daylight and darkness. The vernal, or spring, equinox falls on March 20 or 21, and the autumnal equinox is on September 22 or 23.
