Some environments experience big changes in temperature throughout the day. While one environment may be warm during the day, temperatures can drop below freezing at night. In an environment such as this, liquid water that enters rocks through cracks will over time...

• turn into a gas and shrink in size, filling the cracks of the rock

• turn into a gas and expand, causing the rocks to break apart

• freeze into a solid and shrinking in size, filling in the cracks of the rock

• freeze into a solid and expand, causing the rocks to break apart
