Boulder fields could be caused by volcano ejecta, but are normally the result of deposition by glaciers which once carried them suspended in their ice. Upon melting, the boulders and rock debris are dropped in place.

Why does putting a boulder into hot fire then pouring cold water on it fracture the boulder?

Putting a boulder into hot fire causes it to heat up and expand. When cold water is poured over the hot boulder, the rapid temperature change causes the outer layer to cool and contract much faster than the inner part, creating significant thermal stress. This difference in expansion and contraction leads to fractures in the boulder as it cannot accommodate the stress without breaking.
