Alligator Cracks
alligator cracks
It is usually caused by fatigue in the pavement surface. As fatigue fractures develop they typically interlock in a pattern known as "alligator cracking". The chunks of pavement between fatigue cracks are worked loose and may eventually be picked out of the surface by continued wheel loads, thus forming a pothole. [Continuing discussion] Ice wedging, maybe? Water freezes and expands in cracks, weakening the road. The process repeats itself, and soon the street cannot withstand its own weight.
Cracks in Concretes are as: Shear cracks, temperature cracks & surface cracks which those are formed depends on climates .
Surface cracks in oil paintings are known as craquelure, caused by the ageing of the varnish or paint layer.

Fatigue crackling occurs in materials when repeated cyclic loading, such as stress or strain, is applied. This leads to the growth of micro-cracks in the material that eventually coalesce and result in larger cracks. Proper stress levels and a sufficient number of load cycles are required for fatigue crackling to occur.

Infiltration is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces.

Yes, magma pushes towards the Earth's surface through cracks in the crust, a process known as volcanic activity. When pressure builds up beneath the surface, magma can force its way through weak points in the crust, such as fractures or faults, leading to volcanic eruptions.
