Water, ice, wind, acid, gravity, and temperature are all involved in the breaking down of rocks on the earth's surface.
The process called weathering is responsible for the breaking up and wearing away of the Earth's rocks. The broken up rocks are then carried away by the process of erosion.
The likely word is "seismic" (sound vibrations from underground rocks).
The 4 September earthquake was caused by movement along the Greendale fault (a break in the rocks below the earth's surface) near to Christchurch. It happened when the forces within the earth became greater than the friction holding rocks together. As the rocks moved the vibrations caused the ground to shake. The fault had been hidden below the gravels of the Canterbury Plains.
The acids chemically weather rock by breaking up their chemical composition, which eventually causes the rock to lose mass by decomposition.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes
Vibrations caused by rocks breaking and moving as a result of a sudden release of energy is called an Earthquake. By the movement of plate boundaries, depending how it moved, is how strong the Earthquake will be.
Seismic Waves - are mechanical vibrations that occur inside the Earth caused by the breaking of rocks.
Water, ice, wind, acid, gravity, and temperature are all involved in the breaking down of rocks on the earth's surface.
Erosion
Vibrations produced by breaking of rocks are called vibrations, earthquakes are produced by these, earthquakes occur when the plates under the earths crust are built with stress and then collapse, causing them to move inward towards each other and cause large virations, producing earthquakes. 8th grade question.
Earthquakes.
It is when the rocks are breaking under pressure, elastic rebound, and the forces pushing/pulling on rocks.
No
Earthquakes are the vibrations caused the sudden release of energy by rocks breaking under stress. Rocks crack and slip past each other causing the ground to vibrate.
Stress becomes so great that the rocks of a fault suddenly grind past each other
