the tendency for the deformed rock along a fault to spring back after an earthquake
What else can I help you with?
What is a synonym for elastic rebound?
elastically
The springing back of rock after it has been deformed is known as?
Elastic rebound. This phenomenon occurs when stress builds up in a rock mass and causes it to deform, then suddenly release that stress by rebounding to its original shape. Elastic rebound is often associated with earthquakes and fault movements.
What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit break and snap in elastic rebound?
Earthquakes will happen.
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 snapping back of deformed rocks to its previous shape?
Elastic rebound
Elastic rebound is similar to what happens when you release?
A stretched rubber band
How can you use elastic rebound in a sentence?
the rocks are deformed they break relasing the stored energy
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.
What is the snapping back of deformed rock to its previous shape called?

The snapping back of deformed rock to its previous shape is called .?
