Block disintegration usually occur in well-jointed rocks. During daytime, rocks are expose to the baking sun, they expand due to the increase in temperature. At night, due to cooling effect, the rocks are cooled rapidly and they contract. expansion of the rock cause the joints or cracks present in the rock to be widen.

Finally, stress builds up within the rocks and the rocks split along the joints.
