How is the vast about of carbon stored?
stored in carbonate rock.
Is an earthquake formed when the rock breaks because of stress and the energy is released?
Yes, this is a very good description of the cause of an earthquake.
If a rock undergoes horizontal stress what and what will form?
If a rock undergoes horizontal stress, Anticlines and Synclines will form.
What is geological stress?
Geological stress is a force applied to a rock.
What is the Stress force that pulls rock apart?
Tensile stress.
What is stress that pushes rock in opposit directions?
Stress that pushes rock in diffrent directions is called tension. Not shearing
What are the three main types of stress in a rock?
The three main types of stress in a rock are shearing, tension, and compression.
What types of energy transformation occurs during an earthquake?
Elastic potential energy stored in the rock is released in the form of vibrations and heat.
What causes the moving of the tectonic plates under the earth's crust?
As a result of subduction, the continental crust becomes more compressed and warped by the huge pressures between these two plates. The stressed causes the rock to deform or change shape by bending. Energy was stored in the deformed areas in the form of elastic potential energy, much like when a spring is compressed. When the stress becomes greater then the breaking strength of the rock, a break occurs in the fault. The stored energy within the misshapen plate is suddenly released. When the stress is relieved,that is when when the tectonic plates begin to move under the earths crust.
What form of energy is stored in a rock before its fall from a hill?
Potential energy is the energy stored in a rock before its fall from a hill.
What are the types of stress?
Stress, in geology, is pressure and can result in an earthquake should the stress in a rock layer suddenly slip when the rock fractures and there is a sudden movement between the two surfaces.
What is the stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions called?
The stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions is called tension. Shearing is the stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions.
