our weather!
Changes in pressure which can cause rocks to crack is an example of mechanical weathering. It refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks.
The cycles resulting from changes in Earth's movements are called Milankovitch cycles. These changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt can affect the amount and distribution of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, potentially leading to ice ages.
heat and pressure
changes in air pressure cause wind, but the sun is the major factor in changes to air pressure.

Pressure, accompanied by deformation, can also cause metamorphism. The application of high pressure over long periods can alter the mineralogy and texture of rocks, leading to metamorphic changes.
Changes in weather can affect the pressure in the atmosphere, which can cause changes in the fluid within our joints. This can lead to increased pressure and irritation in the joints, resulting in pain and discomfort.
