Wetting and drying. (: -Isis
This process is called freeze-thaw weathering. It occurs when water enters cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to crack and break apart as the ice melts and shrinks.
no. your just tearing cartilage. unless you crack it for the first time or you crack your neck when it doesn't wanna be cracked it wont swell.
if you dropitAnswerA hot mug will crack if filled with cold water due to the effects of thermal shock. This is just one part of the cup growing or shrinking due to heating or cooling faster in one spot than another.
To allow for expansion. Differences in temperature cause the materials to either shrink or expand. With constant shrinking and expanding occurring, the materials would crack or break down if there wasn't any allowance for movement. Gaps compensate for the weight of the load crossing vehicles cause. Constant load may cause a bridge to exceed its maximum shear capacity. Gaps also serve as this allowance for movement caused by both temperature and weight.
Because you're cooling down, thus shrinking the glass, outside MORE than the inside (in contact with hot water)
Ice cracking is a phenomenon one observes when glacial ice flows into water. The ice flows based on gravity. This is a constant process, and the ice cracking is also, therefore, constant.
The following are not covered, "Settling, shrinking, bulging or expansion, including resultant cracking, of pavements,patios, foundations, walls, floors, roofs or ceilings;" Sorry the answer is no.
I believe the swelling casued by cracking knuckles is just a myth, I have been cracking them and know people who used to do it or still do it, they never noticed any swelling. Actually when you crack knuckles there is hydrogen and some other gas bubble like substance which actually burst and that is how you hear the crack, so I think that has nothing to with Swelling of fingers or toes
there is a bubble in your knukle and it pop.
Yes, Mercury has cliffs and cracks on its surface due to tectonic activity that occurred in the past. The formation of these features is linked to the planet's cooling and shrinking over time, causing the surface to crack and form steep cliffs.

No -- the Rubbermaid Shed is made of polyethylene plastic and will not fade, crack, or peel due to exposure.
