What happens to the surface area of rock as it breaks apart?
Fracturing increases the surface area of a rock exposed to weathering.
What is molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface?
Magma that reaches the surface it is called lava.Molten rock from the Earth's interior that breaks through to the surface is called lava
Where rock breaks under stress is called?
the poin beneath earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and triggers an earthquake is called the

What dictates the type of fault formed when a surface breaks?
the way in which the forces are applied to a rock
The point beneath the surface where rock breaks and an earthquake is produced is known as the .?
The point beneath the surface where rock breaks and an earthquake is produced is known as the focus or hypocenter. This is the location where the seismic energy is first released during an earthquake. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is called the epicenter.
What do you call the point below the earths surface where the rock breaks under stress and tension?
fre
Buried rock is exposed at earths surface by the combination of which two processes?
The combination of weathering and erosion exposes buried rock at the Earth's surface. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces away, eventually revealing the rock at the surface.
What is the point beneath earths surface where rock breaks under stress and triggers an earthquake is called the?
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
What is a process that breaks down rocks above the Earth's surface?
The process that breaks down rock above the earths surface are numerous and could be generally reffered to as Exogenous Processes, they include, Weathering, Denudation and Mass-wasting.
What is the process that breaks down rock and other substance at earth's surface?
Weathering, which is caused by water, ice, wind and sun.
The place of earths surface above the location that rock breaks during an earthquake is the?
The place on Earth's surface directly above the location where rock breaks during an earthquake is called the epicenter. The epicenter is important because it helps to identify the point on the surface that experiences the strongest shaking and the most intense effects of the earthquake. This term is distinct from the focus, which is the actual underground point where the earthquake originates.
