Question

A crack which separates wood fibres is called:

(a) Warp

(b) Check

(c) Collapse

(d) Split

I got this question in quiz.

I'd like to ask this question from Defects and Preservation of Timber in division Materials for Construction of Basic Civil Engineering

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) Check

The best I can explain: Check is crack that does not extend from one end to another.  A check that extends from one end to other is called a split.
