Belle’s grandfather lives in a region where the temperature drops below 0°F at night. When Belle visited her grandfather, they hiked up a hill. Belle noticed that a lot of rocks had cracks in them. She also found quite a few rocks that had split into pieces. What most likely caused the rocks in this region to weather?

Answer : Normally all molecular motions seizes at 0k which is -272oC so the temperature can't go below that

Step-by-step explanation:

But, the rocks cracked because of too much expansion. Generally at night, water can be found within rocks which then evaporates during the day. And when water is cold or freezed it expands. So, as the water in the rock expands it causes an increase in size until a certain level where it can no more expand, it cracks.What causes the split of the rock is due to the expansion of water as it freezes
