Why do low rep/high weight exercises build muscle and high rep/low weight exercises tone them?

From what i can remember, low rep/ high weight, actually tears the fibrous muscles so that the tissue scars and causes more tissue to thicken and cause bulk on the muscle itself.

low rep and high weight(rep range 1-6) builds strength but not alot of bulk, more high volume and medium intensity builds muscle(rep range 8-12) and high rep stuff reps 15 or higher build endurence. toning is a misnomer, it justs means the muscle isnt slack and unworked.
