When a body of rock bends upward into an arch, it is called an anticline. It is a type of fold in the Earth's crust where the oldest rocks are found at the core of the arch. Anticlines are often associated with the accumulation of oil and gas deposits.
When a rock bends instead of breaking due to plate movement, it is called ductile deformation. This usually occurs under high pressure and temperature conditions deep within the Earth's crust.
Magma that reaches the surface it is called lava.Molten rock from the Earth's interior that breaks through to the surface is called lava
Breaks along mineral planes are referred to as cleavage planes (breaks along a plane) or conchodial fractures (no distinct break controls), depending on the mineral. more general breaks in rocks are referred to as fractures or joints and are often along fault planes or areas of stress in the rock. A crumbly rock texture is found in either an unconsolidated unlithified rock or a heavily chemically or mechanically weathered rock
The point where the rock first breaks or moves in an earthquake is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the location deep within the Earth's crust where the seismic energy is released, causing the ground shaking that we feel as an earthquake.
The stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks is called compressional stress. This type of stress occurs when forces push together in opposite directions, causing rocks to deform under pressure.

The Solid Form of Water that breaks rock is called "ice".
the poin beneath earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and triggers an earthquake is called the

The word is chemical.
The process is called mechanical weathering or freeze-thaw weathering. Water seeps into cracks in the rock, freezes, expands, and ultimately breaks the rock apart as the ice expands.
