Answer: Physical/Mechanical Weathering

Explanation:

Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks into smaller particles like sediment and soil. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. In this case, extreme heat during the day may have caused the rock to expand, only to shrink from the cold of the night. Over time, this weakened the structure of the rock, causing it to split and crumble, with outer layers flaking off in the process known as exfoliation.

The fertile soils of the Midwestern states and availability of cheap, abundant land proved suitable for launching a large-scale farming effort, ultimately leading to high volume production of predictable and reliable crops" credit to google put it in ur own word
