Main sources of stress that cause rock deformation?
Crustal unloading
Which type of stress produces most crustal deformation?
tension is the type of stress that causes the crust to become thinner.
What builds up in fault zones when crustal blocks stick together?
Stress
Can the rocks in the crust move around more easily than the rocks in the lower mantle?
No, crustal rock is cold, hard, and brittle while mantle rock is hot, soft, and plastic. Crustal rock fractures under stress while mantle rock deforms and slowly flows under stress.
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
Plates and Crustal plates are not different it can also be called as Crustal rocks
What is the crustal history on Mars?
what is the crustal history on mars?
What is crustal Compression?
when they are pushed together they form crustal rocks
How many plates are in the crustal plates?
There are 14 crustal plates on the earth.
What are the lines on Europa?
The lines are stress fractures in the crustal ice, likely caused by eruptions created by the tidal stresses of Jupiter's gravity, and possibly also Jupiter's magnetic field.
What is the process of new crust formation called?
Crustal accretion, crustal generation and crustal (petro)genesis are all terms that appear in the literature to describe the process of crustal formation. There are probably a large number of others!
Why do earthquakes occur in subduct?
Subduction zones are locations where crustal plates are being forced down into the mantle below other crustal plates. These movements are not uniform, but instead occur in discrete events. This is because friction causes the plates to lock in position until the stress exceeds the shear strength of the fault zone. This accumulation of stress causes deformations in the rock mass around the locked fault which is suddenly released when the fault slips.
What is the evidence for the existence of crustal plates?
Worldwide, the mountains are the evidence of crustal plates.
