But you have provided absolutely no explanation as to WHY they form or HOW? You've basically just given a dictionary definition; great... we can all read. But you haven't explained why the actual resonance (e.g. 5:3 or 5:2 etc) causes an instability that deflects/ejects that asteroid from that region. The question is: What is the physics at these exact orbits, that causes the body to not be stable?

True! AstroPictionary is a video dictionary to the Astronomy Essentials text; see that text for what you are looking for.
