During the warm day, things expand from the increased heat. During the cold night, things contract as heat is lost. This process of expansion and contraction creates cracks and other stress points that cause weathering.Hence the temperatures cause weathering.

Note: There are few substances that this expansion and contraction can be seen with the naked eye, but even the minute changes cause weathering, and when substances like water get into the microscopic cracks then freeze, it magnifies the effects as water expands when it freezes while other substances contract when they cool down.

Answer:

 Due to large variation in day and night temperatures, the rocks expand during the day and contract during the night. This constant expansion and contraction weakens the rocks and they crack and crumble causing weathering.
