Yes, temparature does indeed affects rocks. In warm temparature, they will contrast, or shrink. It has just the opposite in colder temparature. The rock will inflate by collecting moisture from the air. If the water manages to freezes, it will split the rock.
Not really eroding,but excessive temp. can cause a rock to partially melt,while a very low temp.will literaly have no effect on the rock specimen
yes, it depends which rock though, and what degree of heatness/coldness
The two main factors that affect the temperature at which rocks melt are the composition of the rock and the pressure acting on it. Different minerals have different melting points, so the composition of the rock will determine its melting temperature. Additionally, pressure can increase or decrease the melting temperature of rocks, with higher pressure generally increasing melting temperature and lower pressure decreasing it.
The presence of water lowers the solidus temperature of rocks at a given pressure. It drastically changes the melting temperature by a vast amount.
Metamorphic rocks are produced by changing other rocks with temperature and pressure underground.
The rocks will into pieces.
High temperature and pressure can cause rocks to change their forms. This is known as metamorphic.High pressure and high temperature can cause rocks to change forms. This is known as metamorphic.
Rocks and the Rock Cycle. ROCKS: Rocks, rocks, rocks. Weathering is all about rocks.
The conditions that affect physical stability are heat, temperature, compression, pressure, and the molecular structure.

Abiotic factors affect organisms in an organism by Component, nonliving items, such as rocks. Also, physical elements such as temperature, weathering, etc.
Temperature, pressure, availability of minerals...
Temperature, pressure, availability of source material, and space available for formation all affect the crystallization process of minerals.
When the temperature goes up, the rock expands. When the temperature goes down, the rock contracts. If the temperature goes up and down enough, the rock will eventually begin to break down.
