Rocks
FAULT
Sedimentary rocks, particularly shale and mudstone, are more likely to crack due to strain. These rocks are composed of layers of sediment that are easily disrupted when subjected to stress, causing fractures and cracks to form.
a fault
if the plates are being pushed together, there can't be a crack.... but there is a fault that could be the answer to your question
They move because they are unstable in their current configuration. CRACK OPEN A BOOK DUMBY jkjkjkjk. this is easy af though. legit.
Pressure
A volcano will form at the boundary of two plates moving apart. This is because the two plates moving apart create a crack allowing molten lava to flow up from the mantle.
FAULT
the techtonic plates moving, earthquakes mainly happen on the crakes in the techtonic plates like new zealand has quite a few because they are on a crack.
sounds like, if the rocks are plates, an earthquake... assuming this "crack" is a fault?? does this help?
Magma that turns into lava. A crack in the ground.
Because if the water goes in the crack and freeze, the crack will expand
Plants are the organisms which have roots and can crack rocks
An earth quake occures when the underground plates that are near the center of the earth come together, like 2 over-lap, the friction will cause heat, and also when the 2 over-lap, they can crack, which then causes the earth quake. The size of the earth quake all depends on the size of the crack.
because rocks are extremely hard to cut or even crack
the crashing of the plates cause the plates to break and crack
Changes in pressure which can cause rocks to crack is an example of mechanical weathering. It refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks.
