Physically stressing and fracturing the rock or substrate material. without physical bonding of the minerals in the substrate they lose their structural integrity. compromising the material .

What caused mine explosion in Siberia?

The mine explosion in Siberia was primarily caused by a buildup of methane gas, which is commonly found in coal mines.

Investigations are ongoing to determine the specific circumstances surrounding the explosion.
