Increasing rock size generally decreases its strength due to increased likelihood of defects, while a steeper stress gradient can cause localized stress concentrations leading to potential failure. Combining large rock size with a steep stress gradient can result in reduced rock strength and increased risk of failure.

What effect does weathering have on igneous rock?
The effect of weathering is to reduce the volume of the igneous rock.
How does erosion effect the rock cycle?
erosion can effect the rock cycle by turning igneouse and metamorphic rocks into sediments and eventualy turn into a sedimentary rock such as sandstone
Which two factors about the particles in a rock have the greatest effect on the porosity of the rock?
shape and sorting
Why have people throughout history used igneous rock for tools and building tools?
People have used igneous rock for tools because of its strength and workability; for building materials due to its beauty, strength and availability.
Is the geothermal gradient associated with divergent plate boundaries greater than the gradient associated with subduction zones?
The geothermal gradient associated with divergent plate boundaries is typically lower than the gradient at subduction zones. This is because at divergent boundaries, the crust is thinning and heat can more easily escape from the mantle, while at subduction zones, the subducted plate can carry heat deeper into the Earth, increasing the geothermal gradient.
What effect does the gradient of a stream have on the amount of energy it has for eroding soil and rock?
A steeper gradient of a stream allows it to flow faster, carrying more energy that can be used to erode soil and rock more efficiently. Slower-moving streams with a gentler gradient have less energy available for erosion.
How does pressure affect rock structures?
Pressure can effect formation, strength, tightness of packing of rocks and mineral and total geological make-up.
What factor determine the strength of a rock?
The factors that influence the strength of a rock and how it will deform include temperature, confining pressure, rock type, and time.
Which is not a major factor that influences the strength of a rock?
The color of the rock is not a major factor that influences the strength of a rock. Factors such as mineral composition, grain size, texture, and porosity play a more significant role in determining a rock's strength.
On Pokemon sapphire where do you get the HM strength?
you can get strength HM from using rock smash on the rock that seperates the couple in the village across from marvile which you get rock smash from.
What is the name of the biggest rock?
God as he is my rock, my fortress and my strength.
Is the in-situ strength of rock higher than the strength determined under laboratory conditions?
The strength of a rock in-situ is almost always less (and sometimes very significantly less) than the strength when measured in a laboratory.
What effect does weathering have on igneous rock?
The effect of weathering is to reduce the volume of the igneous rock.
How do you use strength on the rock in the dreamyard on pokemon black?
You need to teach strangth to at least one of your pokemon. The pokemon that knows strength must be in your party if you need to use strength. Click on the rock and answer yes when it asks if you would like to move the rock. Then just walk into the rock and it will move
What are the effect of rock properties in drilling operation?
Rock properties such as strength, hardness and brittleness must be assessed so that the correct drilling procedures are implemented.Ê Such as choosing the correct drill bits for the specific type of rock thats being drilled, to ascertain the most effective way to drill.
