How are volcano mountains formed?
Volcanoes are formed when two continental plates collide creating a mountain. Magma then seeps through the cracks creating a hole which gets bigger and bigger. Finally an eruption occurs.
How do hot spots form volcanoes?
Pressure builds up from under the Earth in the moho or asthenosphere from molten lava and the Earth's crust is pushed and eventually cracks and lava seeps out through the crack therefore forming a volcano.

How does ice wedging break ice?
Ice naturally makes cracks when it is frozen. Not large cracks, but cracks. Water seeps in through these cracks and freezes them. The crack expands due to the frozen water, or new ice. The cycle continues over and over again until the piece of ice finally breaks.

There are four types of water erosion. They are freeze-thaw, biological, chemical, and exfoliation erosion. Freeze-thaw erosion occurs when water seeps into cracks or joints in rocks and then freezes.
How does underground water cause chemical weathering of limestone?
Rainfall that seeps through cracks in the bedrock is slightly acidic. The acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the limestone, causing dissolution of the rock.
