Exfoliation.
What else can I help you with?
What is the breaking of rocks due to constant expansion an contraction called?
Weathering.
What is the shrinking of a substance called?
Since expansion is the process of a substance's dimensions increasing, e.g., thermal expansion caused by a rise in temperature, the logical opposite would be contraction.
A maximal sustained muscle contraction is called a?
tetanic contraction.
What is called peeling away of outer rock layers?
The process of removing outer layers of rock is called exfoliation or weathering. This can happen due to expansion and contraction of rocks caused by temperature changes, leading to the outer layers peeling away.
What is the process called when a boulder cracks?
The process when a boulder cracks is called "weathering." This can occur due to various factors, including thermal expansion and contraction, freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical weathering. Over time, these processes can lead to the physical breakdown of the rock, resulting in cracks or fractures.
What is breaking of rocks due to constant expansion and contraction called?
Exfoliation.

Weathering.
What is the breaking of rocks due to constant expansion and contraction?
Exfoliation.
What is the breaking of the rocks due to constant and contraction called?
Exfoliation.
What is the breaking of rocks due to constant expansion and contractions called?
Exfoliation.
Constant contraction of a muscle is?
constant contraction of a muscle is called the muscle tone
Can temperature cause erosion?
Yes, temperature can cause erosion through a process called thermal expansion and contraction. When rocks are heated by the sun, they expand, and when they cool down, they contract. Over time, this constant expansion and contraction can weaken the rocks, making them more susceptible to erosion from other factors like water and wind.
What is called a constant muscle contraction?
Tonus is the continous baseline muscle tone in the body.
How fast is the universe?
The Universe is not expanding. The Universe is in equilibrium. The idea that the Universe is expanding results from a mis-interpretation of Hubble's redshift measures and the Biblical Creation Story. Einstein observed that the universe was not contracting under gravity and added a cosmological constant to "account" for the lack of contraction. This cosmological constant is an anti-gravity feature that adds expansion. mathematicians claimed that Einstein's Equations only allowed for expansion or contraction. When the redshift was discovered the deal was sealed. Hubble did not interpret the redshift as an expansion, he called it "an hither to unknown principle of nature". Hubble was correct and the current view of expansion is wrong. There is a herd mentality in physics like in Stock Market Bubbles. The Big Bang is a Bubble, there is no expansion.
Why does temperature weather rocks?
Temperature can weather rocks through a process called thermal weathering, where rocks expand and contract due to heating and cooling cycles. This constant expansion and contraction weakens the rock structure, leading to breakdown and fragmentation over time. Additionally, extreme temperature changes can cause thermal stress, leading to fracturing and eventual disintegration of the rock.
What is the shrinking of a substance called?
Since expansion is the process of a substance's dimensions increasing, e.g., thermal expansion caused by a rise in temperature, the logical opposite would be contraction.
What are the turning points of the business cycle called?
The turning points of the cycle are called the peak, which is at the end of the expansion phase, and the trough, which is at the end of the contraction phase.
