The mechanism by which rocks store and eventually release energy in the form of an earthquake is?
The answer is C: Elastic Rebound a fault displacement b stress fracture c elastic rebound or seismic rebound one of those
How does the elastic rebound theory explain the occurrence of earthquakes?
The sudden return of elastically deformed rock to sit original shape is called elastic rebound. Elastic rebound happens when stress on rock along a fault becomes so grat that the rock breaks or fails. This failure causes the rocks on either side of the fault to jerk past one another. During this sudden motion, large amounts of energy are released. This energy travels through rock as seismic waves. These waves cause earthquakes. The strength of an earthquake is related to the amount of energy that is released during elastic rebound.
Sudden return of elastically deformed rock?
elastic rebound
The springing back of rock after it has been deformed is known as?
ElastiC rebound
What is the hypothesis that explains the release of energy during an earthquake is called?
elastic rebound hypothesis
What is a synonym for elastic rebound?
elastically

What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit break and snap in elastic rebound?
Earthquakes will happen.
Sudden return of elastically deformed rock?
elastic rebound
Elastic rebound is similar to what happens when you?
A stretched rubber band
What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit breaks and snap back in elastic rebound?
Earthquakes will happen.
What is elasticity and in-elasticity?
Inelastic things can not be stretched or do not rebound while elastic things will stretch, bounce, rebound, etc..
What is the opposite of elastic?
The opposite of elastic is inelastic, where a material cannot stretch and rebound. A material without this quality could be "inflexible" (rigid, stiff) or one that did not rebound, termed "plastic" (deformable).Elastic suggests that the material recovers its original shape after an applied load is removed. Plastic means that it doesn't recover its shape. Steel is an example of an elasticmaterial, when it is loaded within its capacity. It becomes plastic if it is overloaded. Concrete can be considered an elastic material only in compression.
