What are the cracks along flat rocks surfaces called?
Large cracks in rocks are called, fracture or fissure.
What are the factors that affect the rate of rock weathering?
Cracks and mineral composition of rocks affet the rate weathering. Smaller rocks with more available surface area weather more rapidly. Rocks with calcium carbonates weather more rapidly than rocks made of granite......:-)

How do mafic volcanic rocks get to Earth's surface?
Pressure from overlying crust forces mantle magmas through cracks to Earth's surface. These magmas erupt out of volcanoes, cool, and solidify into rock.
