Rocks can melt when they become hot, which can lead to pieces breaking off.

Rocks move faster when they are heated, which can cause the pieces to eventually move away.

Rocks become ice when they get cold, which can later melt and wash away.

Rocks expand and contract when they are heated and cooled which cause them to break.
how did u get that answer?
I analyzed the given options and identified the one that accurately describes the relationship between temperature and weathering of rocks. The expansion and contraction of rocks caused by heating and cooling is a common process known as thermal stress, which can lead to the breaking and fragmentation of rocks over time.

how do u know that?
Physical weathering occurs at the Earth's crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. This is where rocks are exposed to various external forces such as temperature changes, wind, water, and ice, which can physically break down the rocks into smaller fragments. The mantle, outer core, and inner core are deeper layers of the Earth that do not experience the same types of surface processes that lead to physical weathering. Therefore, it can be concluded that the crust is the part of the Earth that experiences physical weathering.
