Getting very hot during the day, and very cold during the night, will help to crack rocks. As will rainwater seeping into minute cracks, and then expanding when turned into ice during a frosty night.

What is the weakest material in the world?
The weakest Rock in the world Is most Likely Shale Rock As it isint really a solid rock as much as Layer (plates) of rock
A reddish brown rock from the Canadian shield was held in a very hot Bunsen burner flame The flame appeared emerald green what metal was most likely present in the rock?
Copper.
Chemical weathering occurs when minerals in rocks are changed chemically. Which of these will most likely change the rate of chemical weathering on a rock?
rainfall and temperature
What happens when water enters a crack of a rock and freezes in it?
If it freezes just a little it becomes cold water, but if it freezes more it becomes ice.
Is smooth shiny rock or dull grainy looking rock more likely to let water pass through it?
A dull grainy looking rock is more likely to let water pass through it compared to a smooth shiny rock. The rough texture of the grainy rock provides more surface area for water to seep into and flow through, while the smooth rock may have a more compact structure that prevents easy passage of water.
What is most likely to make a rock crack and crumble?
stressWater freezing in a crack in a rock
How do you make a crack rock bigger?
chemical weathering.
How does a rock crack if its subjected to heavy frost?
It is likely that the repeated freeze-thaw cycles would cause the crack or fracture to widen and lengthen.
In what type of rock would you most likely find layers?
Sedimentary rock, most likely.
Water freezes in the cracks of a rock during the winter and then melts during the spring. Over time what will most likely happen to the rock?
Each time the water freezes, it expands, gradually widening the cracks in the rock. Eventually the rock will break along the lines of the crack.
The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone?
A metamorphic rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone.
What sedimentary rock is most likely to have a fossil?
Coquina is the sedimentary rock most likely to contain visible fossils.
What is most likely to produce a fragmental sedimentary rock?
which of the following is most likely to produce a fragmental sedimentary rock?
Is a igneous rock light or heavy?
inertia: the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion If a light rock is being thrown at a heavy rock the light rock would probably crack or get deflected from the heavy rock, but if a heavy rock is being thrown at a light rock the light rock would most likely shatter. A: The heavy rock has more inertia
What would happen to a rock with a crack in it if it was subjected to repeated heavy frost?
It is likely that the repeated freeze-thaw cycles would cause the crack or fracture to widen and lengthen hi.
What is the rock that you are most likely to find fossils in?
Igneous rock
