no they actually become really tough minerals like diamond and other valuable gems because the pressure smashes the particles of the rock close together. the only time the rocks would ever liquify is when they are out under an immense amount of heat like lava.

What happens to rocks as they go undergo stress?

The rocks either fracture under the stress, or become compressed in different rocks known as "metamorphic".

yes it can


What happens to rocks when they undergo stress?

When the tension (stress) is great enough, they will fracture or deform.


Where are rocks most likely to undergo brittle deformation in response to high stress?

Rocks are most likely to undergo brittle deformation at shallow depths in the Earth's crust where the confining pressure is lower. This occurs because the rocks are not under enough pressure to cause ductile deformation, so they instead break and fracture in response to high stress. Examples include faults in the upper crust or rock formations near the Earth's surface.


How does stress changes Earth's Surface?

stress changes the earth's surface by the way it looks and the layers.

What is the difference between normal stress and shear stress in the context of material deformation?

Normal stress acts perpendicular to the surface of a material, while shear stress acts parallel to the surface. Normal stress causes compression or tension, while shear stress causes sliding or deformation along the surface.


What happens to the rocks at plate boundaries when they undergo stress?

When rocks at plate boundaries undergo stress, they can deform in different ways. They may bend and fold if the stress is not too extreme, or they may break and slip along faults if the stress is too great. This can lead to earthquakes, volcanic activity, or the formation of new structures in the Earth's crust.


What happens when rocks beneath the earths surface undergo stress?

The rock moves because forces deep inside earth create stress or pressure in the rock when the pressure in the rock builds up enough,the rock breaks or changes shape releasing energy in the form of waves
