How do rocks get cracked?

Samuel the Lamanite in Helaman 14:21-22 in the Book of Mormon stated that the Rocks of the earth at that time (5 BC) were basically one solid mass. He prophecied that at the death of Christ, all the rocks would be broken and would be found thereafter in cracks and seams and fragments upon the face of the whole earth. If this did take place at Christ's death, I is a great symbol of the Redeeming Rock being broken. The Stone of Israel who was the Rock of Salvation, who created the Rocks of the earth, was bruised and broken for our sake and every rock on the earth broke as they paid respect to the Messiah.
