The 23 pages that link to Joint (geology), each with the reason it gives.

• KarstRelated: Joints provide pathways where water can begin dissolving otherwise solid rock.

• WeatheringRelated: Joints expose additional surfaces where water, air, and temperature changes can act.

• Differential erosionRelated: Joints expose more surface area and can accelerate erosion in fractured rock.

• Fault (geology)Compared with: Unlike a fault, a joint lacks measurable relative movement across the fracture.

• RockfallRelated: Joints divide cliffs into blocks that can detach and fall.

• Columnar jointingNarrower topic: Column boundaries are joints that divide cooling rock without substantially offsetting it.

• FoliationCompared with: Joints can form planar surfaces, but they do not describe aligned mineral fabric.

• Sea caveRelated: Joints provide weak pathways that waves exploit when excavating coastal rock.

• Giant's CausewayRelated: The columns are bounded by joints rather than major faults.

• Sea stackRelated: Waves exploit joints to widen cracks into caves and passages.

• Kata TjutaRelated: Joints help guide the breakdown that separates domes and steep faces.

• Bedrock riverRelated: Joints provide weaknesses that erosion can widen into channel features.

• CliffRelated: Joints divide cliff rock into blocks that can loosen and fall.

• RockslideRelated: Joints can form planes that let blocks detach and slide.

• Saxon SwitzerlandRelated: Fractures guide weathering and divide sandstone into cliffs, blocks, and crevices.

• Delicate ArchRelated: Joints help channel weathering and define blocks that erosion can remove.

• Balancing rocks of ZimbabweRelated: Fracture patterns divide granite into blocks that weather into boulders.

• Ciudad EncantadaRelated: Existing fractures guide water and divide the limestone into erodible blocks.

• Cliffed coastRelated: Joints provide pathways for water and weak points for cliff failure.

• El Torcal de AntequeraRelated: Fractures guide water and erosion, helping divide the limestone into blocks and passages.

• Prachov RocksRelated: Fractures divide sandstone beds into blocks that erosion can isolate as towers.

• Solutional caveBroader topic: Joints provide initial pathways that dissolution can widen into cave passages.

• Yonaguni MonumentRelated: Natural joints can create straight edges and block-like forms in exposed sandstone.
