Scissions are cuts or divisions, especially when something is split into parts.
Scissions can be intentional or accidental, and they often change the shape or structure of something.
Examples:
The scissions in the paper made it fall apart.
The scissions in the road made it hard to drive.
The scissions in the cake made it easy to share.
The scissions in the rope made it two ropes.
The scissions in the rock made it two rocks.
The scissions in the tree made it fall down.
