What form of energy causes cracks in roads?
Thermal energy from the sun causes roads to expand and contract, leading to stress on the road surface. This stress, combined with regular wear and tear from vehicles, can eventually cause cracks to form in roads.
What form energy do you think causes cracks in roads?
mechanical energy
What are the causes of road deterioration?
cars driving on the roads, weathering,car accidents, crazy builders with hammers, tempreature change causing cracks
What form of energy do you think causes cracks in roads?
heat which can cause base materials with higher clay contents (e.g. some gravel) to dry in summer and crack
What form of energy that cause cracks in roads?
Thermal energy from temperature changes can cause cracks in roads. As the temperature fluctuates, the road expands and contracts, leading to stress on the road surface that can result in cracks forming over time.
What is caused when water enters in cracks in the asphalt on roads and cars run over these cracks pushing the water into the asphalt and breaking it apart?
Pot holes

Why are roads cracked?
The common causes of Road cracks are overloading, seepage, improper or poor road surface drainage, lack of proper road maintenance, lack of proper design, adverse climatic conditions and some other factors.
Freezing and thawing cycle that causes potholes in roads and breaks in rocks?
Freeze/thaw cycle doesn't create potholes. It creates cracks on pavement. Potholes form when water, whether from melting snow, rain or frost thawing gets into the cracks in the pavement and cause the road base to shift and develop voids just under the pavement. When this occurs, the weight of vehicles causes the pavement to crumble causing potholes.
At the end of each winter roads are usually filled with cracks and potholes Why do you think this happens after cold winter rather than a hot summer?
In the winter the roads crack because the cold causes the concrete to contract, therefore making cracks and potholes in the road. This will not happen in the summer because the heat makes the concrete expand.
What are the physical causes of an earthquake?
falling houses earth cracks.
