yes.......................it is a stretchy elastic rubber band
Because, like a rubber band, it can be stretched until it can't be stretched anymore. When the rocks cannot be stretched anymore, the fault breaks and slips as earthquakes.
If you stretch a rubber band then release it, it will return to its original shape. That is by definition elastic strain. Anything that returns to its original shape after being affected by force underwent elastic strain. If it is permanently deformed (ie you bent a paperclip out of place and it wont return to its original shape) then it passes the elastic strain region and suffered plastic strain.
If a rubber band is stretched, it has elastic energy.
elastic potential energy:]The rubber band has strain energy, equal to the band 1/2 spring constant times the square of the stretch. This is converted to kinetic energy when released.
You can treat the rubber band as a spring. Ve=1/2*k*x2Where Ve is the elastic potential energy stored in the rubber band, k is the spring constant for the rubber band (can be calculated experimentally), and x is the distance the rubber band is stretched.
If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. Latent energy. Potential energy
Stretch the rubber band.
a tightly packed spring, it will act like a rubber band from a rubber band gun when you let go. that is how i remember ELASTIC potential. rubber bands are like elastic.

its a rubber band used for hair
fantastic elastic
