When waves enter small cracks and holes in rocks along the shoreline what happens to the rocks?
When waves enter small cracks and holes in rocks along the shoreline, they exert pressure and cause erosion by wearing down the rock over time. This process is known as wave action, and can lead to the formation of features such as sea caves and blowholes as the rocks are slowly eroded away.
What is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces?
Infiltration is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces.
What is the type of weathering when ice forms cracks in rocks?
Ice wedging is a form of mechanical weathering.
What is root wedging?
Root wedging is a process by which plant roots grow into cracks in rocks, causing the cracks to expand over time as the roots grow thicker. This process can contribute to physical weathering of rocks by breaking them apart.
How do cracks effect weathering?
Cracks can accelerate weathering by providing pathways for water to penetrate rocks. As water flows into cracks, it can expand upon freezing, causing the crack to widen. This process, known as frost wedging, can break apart rocks over time.
Water freezes in the cracks in rocks. plants grow into the cracks in rocks?
cracks open wider
Water freezes in the cracks of rocks and plants grow into the cracks of rocks what happens?
cracks open wider

Do black snakes live in a nest?
No, reptiles have the eggs and then leave them.
What happens first rocks break apart or water fills tiny cracks in rocks and freezes or ice pushes against rocks?
All rocks have cracks in them. If water fills the cracks and freezes, it expands and pushes the rock apart.
What pushes cracks in rocks farther apart?
The expansion of water as it freezes can push cracks in rocks farther apart. This process, known as frost wedging, occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and exerts pressure on the surrounding rock, widening the crack over time.
Will sheetrock mud stick to wood when used for patching holes and cracks?
Yes, sheetrock mud can stick to wood when used for patching holes and cracks.
When rainwater seeps through cracks in rocks what is called?
When rainwater seeps through cracks in rocks, it is called infiltration.
Where do lizards mostly get found?
at night they often stay in holes , under rocks, in cracks (walls) while in the day , often on the surface , ground, wall enjoying the rays of the sun.
Where does a scorpion usually hide?
It hides under rocks but it makes burrows in the ground or hides in the holes of trees.
Does igneous rocks absorb water?
igneous rocks do absorb water because of all the pores ,cracks, and holes in them. The holes will absorb the water and the water will get trapped in the rock there for igneous rocks do absorb water.
How does the freezing of water cause the erosion of rocks?
As water freezes over the surface of an area, the ice tends to expand leading into cracks in the area such as road, mountains, etc. After the ice has melted, the area would be left with nothing but crack and holes in the ground. For example: The Grand Canyon.
