What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the energy that causes seawater to form water vapor?
The energy that causes seawater to form water vapor is heat from the sun. When the sun's energy heats up the surface of the ocean, it causes water molecules to evaporate and rise as water vapor.
Which type of weathering occurs when water seeps into cracks of rocks and freezes?
It is a form of weathering known as frost wedging.
How do mud cracks form?
Mud cracks form when mud or clay dries out and shrinks, causing the surface to crack. As the material dries, it contracts and pulls apart, creating fissures or cracks. Factors like sunlight, wind, and temperature fluctuations can accelerate the drying process and contribute to the formation of mud cracks.
What are the causes of development of pot holes?
Pot holes are cracks or weaknesses in roads. If there is a crack/crevice in the road then water may enter and freeze over night, expanding the crevice. As this process repeats and the road is used more then the pot hole will expand in size.
What form energy do you think causes cracks in roads?
mechanical energy
What form of energy do you think causes cracks in road?
mechanical energy
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 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 causes cracks in the road?
Thermal energy from the sun causes cracks in the road through a process called thermal expansion and contraction. When the road surface heats up, it expands, and when it cools down, it contracts. This repeated expansion and contraction over time can lead to cracks forming.
What causes mudcracks?
Mud cracks form when wet mud dries. As mud dries, it shrinks and cracks start to form.
Why are there channels filled with tar at intervals across cement-concrete roads?
Where cracks form in the asphalt/concrete, repair crews fill the cracks with tar to keep water from seeping in and widening the cracks into pot holes.
What form when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate?
Mechanical Waves

What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
What causes the molecules in a medium to vibrate and form waves?
The transfer of energy.
