Moses took time on Mount , where he went to meet god and to receive the ten comandments . Then the Jews got restless and using the gold stolen from the Egyptians they made a idol of the golden carf, by melting the gold.But when Moses did come down he was very angry at Aron and the rest of the Jews , in anger he smashed the two stones.
Moses loved his people. Sometimes his concern for their benefit brought him to feel pressure and to take certain risks for them, such as the way he spoke to God in Exodus 5:22 and 32:32.
When the Israelites pressed him to provide water (Numbers ch.20), Moses didn't want to cause any delay; and he struck the rock as he'd been told to do in an earlier occasion (Exodus 17:6), even though this time speaking to the rock would have been enough.
See Rashi commentary on Numbers ch.20 for further detail.

From the About Us page for Strike the Rock Foundation (http://striketherock.isat.co.za/Index_files/page0001.htm) In 1956 when South African women fought against apartheid's passbook laws they sang: "Wathint' abafazi, wathint' imbokodo", meaning "You strike the woman, you strike the rock). We believe that women and their children are the foundation of society and must be treated with respect, honor and dignity. In the Bible, God told Moses to strike the rock with a stick so that water would flow from it to nourish the people who were traveling out of Egypt to the Promised Land: "'and when you get to the rock at Mount Sinai, I will be there with you. Strike the rock with the stick, and water will pour out for the people to drink.' Moses did this while the leaders watched." This suggests that the rock is the source of life and nourishment for all people.
The rock is very visible by strike-slip
It means to hit or strike the rock, which is what Moses did instead of speaking to it as God had instructed.From the King James:Numbers 20:11And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smotethe rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank , and their beasts also.Psalm 78:20Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out , and the streams overflowed ; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
It occurred in the wilderness. In terms of where in the Bible it occurs, this is Numbers chapter 20. Numbers 20:7-12 (NIV): 7 The Lord said to Moses, 8 "Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink." 9 So Moses took the staff from the Lord's presence, just as he commanded him. 10 He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?" 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. 12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."
The people wanted water and Moses got impatient. He struck the rock with his rod without God's command and he was punished for that.
God told Moses to take a rod, the one with which he struck the river and go and strike the rock and water will come out of it and the people will drink. So Moses (Exodus 17:7) went and struck the rock as he was told and water flowed from it.Later, in Numbers 20:8-11, God told Moses to now go and "Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water." But Moses, who was still angry with the people, struck the rock, thus disobeying the word of the Lord. Water flowed from the rock, but because of His disobedience, Moses was not permitted to enter into the land of Canaan (the promised land).Answer:Another instance was when Moses forgot that his brother's being a mourner prevented him from eating the sacrifice (Leviticus ch.9-10).It should be pointed out that the claim to infallibility is a sure sign of forgery. We actually take pride in the fact that the Torah isn't like that: it unflinchingly publicizes the mistakes of its protagonists, since it wasn't a human invention.
Not necessarily. Rock layers along a strike-slip fault may be offset if they are dipping.
It is tsunami strike
Water came from the rock when Moses hit the rock with his rod.
There is no connection between Moses striking the rock and Jesus. The only connection that does exist is both we're Prophets of God
Meteorites.
Manna? God ordered Moses to speak to the rock and it would gush forth with water. Instead, Moses struck the rock with his staff. God still provided water to the people, but Moses' punishment for disobeying what Jehovah had spoken was he would not be allowed into the promised land.
