Rocks
Is the point in the ground where the rocks begin to shift is called the epicenter?
yes
What is smoking rocks?

Do rocks expand during the day?
If there is water in the gap, it will freeze. As water expands when it freezes, the crack will be opened wider. This process is called freeze-thaw. Hope that helped!

How ice breaks rocks?
It can do this in two ways. # The Ice can hold rocks in itself and rub these (like sandpaper) across other rocks as it moves, this causes the rocks being rubbed together to break.This is called abrasion. # It can also break rock as it freezes, this is because when water freezes it expands and thus if water enters a crack in a rock then freezes in the crack the ice will try to force the crack open and over time this breaks up the rock. This is called freeze-thaw.
