2. Temperature and Pressure When temperature increases, the volume of minerals also increases. This increase in volume generates internal pressure within the rock. Even a small temperature increase can create enormous pressure within minerals. According to studies, an increase in temperature can produce pressure as high as 165 tons per square inch. Over time, this pressure causes cracking and fragmentation of rocks. 3. Wind Action In desert areas, strong winds carrying sand particles hit
