When rocks break they cause that move throughout the surrounding rock If they are large enough these are felt as earthquakes?
vibrations
What theory explains how rocks in the earth store energy and release it to cause earthquakes?
The theory of plate tectonics
What is the most frequant cause of rocks breaking apart?
Probably, earthquakes or volcanic activity. Or the movement of plate tectonics.
Do tropical storms cause volcanoes and earthquakes?
No. Volcanoes and earthquakes, in simple terms, are produced by movements of Earth's tectonic plate and in the semisolid rocks of the mantle. They have absolutely nothing to do with tropical storms.
Why do cracks and faults in rocks causes earthquakes?
Neither cracks nor faults cause earthquakes by themselves. It is the motion of the Earth's plates.
What produces the force that cause earthquakes as rocks move and break?
The force that cause Earthquakes as rocks to move and break are called plate tectonics
What processes cause earth's rocks to turn into magma?
Melting.
What will cause rocks to turn into sediments?
Weather and erosion and cementing together ( melting)
Some more material on causes of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused when huge pressures deep in the Earth cause rocks to shift or break.
How does movement in tectonic plates cause deformation in rocks?
the plate tectonics can have contact with one another and cause earthquakes, and tsunami's

What do plate movements causes that drives rocks through the rock cycle?
Pushing the rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magma again. plate movements also cause the folding, faulting, uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle
What rock changes?
Everything. There is so many ways to change rocks. Erosion by Wind and Water. Earthquakes/Plate Tectonics, Subduction leading to metamorphism and ultimately melting and becoming Igneous. Man.
What is the most frequant cause of rocks breaking apart?
Probably, earthquakes or volcanic activity. Or the movement of plate tectonics.
How does matter in rocks change to matter in water?
Water can dissolve some of the matter found in rocks. Also, through the alternating processes of freezing and melting, water can cause pieces of rocks to fall into it.
