Where are rocks most likely to break?
Rocks are most likely to break along existing fractures or faults where stress is concentrated. Additionally, rocks are more susceptible to breaking where there are changes in the composition or structure of the rock, such as at boundaries between different rock types or at zones of weakness like joints or foliation planes.
