When water in cracks and joints freezes and expands the rock is broken into angular fragments?
known as frost wedging
What is frost or ice wedging?
Ice Wedging is when there is a little crack in a rock and water gets in it. The water freezes and breaks the crack even bigger (it expands when it turns to ice). Then it melts and more water gets in it. That freezes and breaks the rock up even more. It keeps doing that until the rock breaks.
What are ellipsoid joints?
Ellipsoid Joints are multi-axial joints such as the wrist.
Why a rock with many joints and cracks will be affected by frost weathering?
because the ice lodges in the crack and eventually it starts to break
What element is used to make artificial joints for bones?
Titanium
Water works to expand joints in rocks because it expands as it evaporates true or false?
No. Water expands when it freezes, causing the rocks to crack and break.
Why do sidewalks have lined joints built into them?
because they expand and contract with heat.
Why is your rib cage and breast bone partially movable?
It gives it some flexibility when the ribcage expands and contracts with pulmonary ventilation.
Do you get shorter when you walk?
yes,only 0.88 millimeters because you joints compress. but don't worry, when you sleep your bones will expand again
What connects the ribs allowing them to expand and contract?
Yes in a sense, as you inhale the diaphragm becomes full of air and it expands, the rib cage houses the diaphragm.
Does concrete expand?
yes, that is why they put expansion joints on bridges. (: your welcomeyes, that is why they put expansion joints on bridges. (: your welcome
What causes hard wood floors to rise?
Moisture could be causing the wood to swell and if the flooring cannot expand outward it has to go up. Another possibility is dirt getting into the joints between the boards and, like the moisture problem above, the flooring expands.
What is the purpose of a bridge?
Expansion joints. This allows the bridge to shift or the materials to expand and contract in the bridge. This means that if it gets heated up it expands so it needs a gap so it can move and not break the road!
When water in cracks and joints freezes and expands the rock is broken into angular fragments?
known as frost wedging
Can the fluid between your joints evaporate when you get shocked?
Yes Indeed so you can be paralyzed if you get shocked too much.
Why are there gaps in the side walk?
The gaps that are put in place at the time of construction are called, "expansion joints". When concrete, and other materials, heat up, they expand. If concrete expands too much it will press against other sections of concrete and can break or "buckle". When sections of concrete press against each other too hard, sometimes two adjacent sections will press up, creating a dangerous condition for anyone walking on the sidewalk. Expansion joints give a little space for the concrete to expand before anything bad happens. Even with expansion joints, it's sometimes not enough.
Why is your height greater when you are lying?
Your spinal discs decompress and expand because they don't have to support the weight, making you taller. The joints in the legs and neck also do this to some extent.
