A timing belt breaks when the materials fail or become fatigued. This usually occurs after the engine has been in use for in excess of 100,000 miles.
if the timing belt breaks then yes it will throw the timing off.
Age or damage from a failed pulley.
What would cause the timing belt to break twice in 1 month on a 2000 Kia Sportage?
There is no timing belt. It is a timing chain. I have 130,000 miles and have not had any trouble. It will start making noise when it is time. Unlike timing belts which will break, timing chains wear out slowly.
timing belt, if it needs it change it because these engines eat them selves if they break.
it wears out, heat ,stress and stretches.

The Villager has a non-interference engine. It will not be destroyed if the timing belt breaks.
Your car has a timing belt. It must be changed every 90,000 miles or it may break resulting in expensive engine damage.
Yes, it does. And you don't want it to happen.
The 2000 Mercury Villager uses a timing belt and has a non-interference engine. Which means that if the timing belt were to break that no engine damage would occur from the valves and pistons hitting each other.
The timing belt is what keeps the valves from moving in synch with the pistons. If the timing belt snaps or cogs over the pistons are likely to collide with the valves smashing them both.
