What occurs when an applied force causes rock to break?
Mechanical weathering occurs when an applied force causes rock to break.
What causes earth guakes?
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little.
When huge layers of rock break under the ground the effect is a massive vibration that travels through out the ground what causes to happen?
it becomes a dormant
What causes soil and rock particles to rise?
Water from rainfall and runoff seep into the ground, so it fills the spaces between particles of soil and rock. The water freezes and gets bigger, (expands) and it causes the lifting of rock and soil. ☺
What causes the soil and rock particles to fall?
When the ground thaws, the force of gravity causes the soil and rock particles to fall back down. But they fall vertically, toward the center of Earth. The result is movement downhill.
What burrowing in the ground break rock?

How can burrowing animals cause weathering in a rock?
yes they can but over time because it breaks up the rock
How can an earthquake be compared to tossing a rock into a pond?
the beginning of an earthquake is when ground underneath breaks, this causes force to go out in a ripple form causing the ground to shake. throwing a rock into a pond makes ripples travel through the water
What occurs when an applied force causes rock to break?
Mechanical weathering occurs when an applied force causes rock to break.
How can the action of animals or plants break down rock material?
Plants roots grow in cracks in rocks. This causes a rock to break apart. Animals dig in the ground and while digging, it breaks down rock gradually.

Why is acid rain harmful to rocks?
it causes chemical weathering that breaks down the minerals of the rock
What creates an active volcano?
