Supposedly tree roots can split boulders. I pulled a live root out of a
crack and squeezed it with pliers, and found that it was soft and easily
compressed.

One only has to observe misc plants pushing through pavement to
realize there are some interesting properties involving force
involved...

The condition of our paved and dirt roads during spring thaw/freeze cycles shows the powerful effects of water without plants being involved. I think plants merely take advantage of existing opportunity.
On the same line I believed a strong enough wind could drive straws into tree trunks until I closely examined a tree that had been bent by another falling onto it. The convex upwind side had many open cracks that closed and vanished when the tree was released.
