The definition of a fracture of a rock is the breakage that is not on a flat surface. Two main kinds of fracture are conchoidal (shell shaped, as in quartz) and uneven.
A fracture is a break...there are different types of fractures (hairline, open, closed).
the breakge of a rock on a flat surface
Wind can carry abrasive particles which weather rocks. Trees can be uprooted by wind, causing the rocks at their roots to fracture. Wind can create waves which can fracture or exploit an existing fracture in a rock.
Conchoidal is a type of rock fracture indicative of certain rocks and minerals.
folds-bending of the rocks without breaking faults-fracture of rocks with displacement joints-fracture of rocks wihtout displacement joints affect the resistance of rocks and making it subscitible to weathering
Porous rocks are like sandy soil and water seeps through these rocks.
Rocks formed by the cooling and solidifying of molten materials.
the breaking of rocks or displacing along the fracture.
the breaking of rocks or displacing along the fracture.
Energy building up inside the fracture to split the rock open.
Wind can carry abrasive particles which weather rocks. Trees can be uprooted by wind, causing the rocks at their roots to fracture. Wind can create waves which can fracture or exploit an existing fracture in a rock.

A fault is, generally speaking, a fracture in a rock formation which indicates crustal movement on either side. A fault is a specific type of rock fracture, for which there are many causes.
Igneous rocks are those that have solidified from lava or magma.

Flint is a microcrystalline sedimentary rock composed primarily of quartz, exhibiting a conchoidal fracture which made it useful in tool making.
Because that is the very definition of igneous rock.
Porous rocks are like sandy soil and water seeps through these rocks.
By definition a rock is in a solid state.
