erosion
The rainwater is more acidic after passing through polluted air.
It weathers rocks because the water enters through the cracks and therefore it expands the rocks
Rain and running water can enlarge existing cracks in rocks through its erosive powers. Freezing water in a rock crack will expand, causing additional fracture.
dike
Artesian springs form where pressurized water flows through cracks in cap rock.
Large cracks in rocks are called, fracture or fissure.
They are called bedding planes
Infiltration is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces.
