Water seeps into cracks and breaks apart the rock or water rubs the side of the rock that is exposed and breaks off pieces of the rock.

the poin beneath earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and triggers an earthquake is called 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.
Breaks along mineral planes are referred to as cleavage planes (breaks along a plane) or conchodial fractures (no distinct break controls), depending on the mineral. more general breaks in rocks are referred to as fractures or joints and are often along fault planes or areas of stress in the rock. A crumbly rock texture is found in either an unconsolidated unlithified rock or a heavily chemically or mechanically weathered rock
