What type of physical weathering forms scree?
Scree or talus would typically be formed by weathering due to ice wedging, plant root growth in rock crevices, pressure release, tensional stress, or compressional stress.
What tpyes of materials can the three waves move through?
Primary Wave can move through solids, liquids, and gases.Primary waves are formed due to the property of materials that they respond to compressional stress. As all materials(solids, liquids and gases) respond to compressional stress, primary waves can move through all phases.Secondary Wave can move through solids, but NOT liquids and gases.Secondary waves are formed due to the property of materials responding to shear stress. As fluids do not respond to shear stress, secondary wave does not move through fluids.Surface Waves move through solids along the boundary of two layers.
Explain what type of stress in the crust results in the formation of folded mountains?
Folded mountains are the result of compression stress in the earth's crust. This is a movement of plates that presses together or squeezes Earth's crust and is also known as convergent boundary.
What is friction stress?
stress caused due to friction
What is the difference between tensile stress and breaking stress?
tensile stress is due to just the tension in the load whereas breaking stress can be due to breaking,shearing or compression!
What is the difference between mechanical stress and thermodynamic stress?
Mechanical stress is due to the resistance offered by various materials against physical distortion or damage. Thermal stress is caused due to the expansion of materials due to the variations in temperature with respect to reference value.
Can your heart burst due to emotional stress or stress of any kind?
yes it can
Can you miss a period due to stress?
If you have missed a period because of stress, answer this question.
What is a change in a rocks shape due to stress?
The change in shape of rock (and any other material) due to stress is called strain.
How are notes receivable due in 5 years listed on the balance sheet?
nOtes receivable due in five years is listed on the balance sheet under what csption
Where is the giant 's causeway?
It is a volcanic structure in Ireland formed by slowly cooling magma in a volcanic pipe. There is a predominance of hexagonal jointing due to the slow cooling to make pillars of basalt. -firstmate-
How do you calculate stress due to dynamic load?
stress is the ratio between the load and area
