Is the change in shape of rock due to stress?

It is deformation


What is the change in shape of rock due to stress?

Shape of rock also changes because of stress. It causes the rock to change its shape. When a lot of pressure applies it causes the rock to change its shape.


What is the change in shape or volume of a body of a rock as a result of stress?

deformation


What is a change in the shape of a rock caused by a forced placed on it called?

Stress deformation.


What is a deformation and what causes it?

Deformation is a change in the shape or size of a material due to stress or strain. It can be caused by external forces such as pressure, tension, or shearing forces acting on the material, leading to a rearrangement of its atomic structure. Deformation can result in a temporary change (elastic deformation) or a permanent change (plastic deformation) in the material.


What is the name of the process by which the shape of a rock changes in response to stress?

The process by which the shape of a rock changes in response to stress is called deformation. This can result in folding, faulting, or fracturing of the rock.


What is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called?

A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called stress. Tension is the stress that sketched rock so that is becomes thinner in the middle.


A process by which rock deforms like a rubber band being stretched is called?

The force causing the change in the shape of rock is called stress. The change of shape in the rock is called strain. If the stress does not cause a permanent change in the shape of rock, it is called elastic deformation. If the change is permanent, it is called plastic deformation.


What is the process by which the shape of a rock changes because of stress?

This is technically known as strain. If the change in shape occurs by fractures forming through the rock this is known as a brittle deformation. If however the rock deforms like a piece of clay being squashed this is known as ductile deformation.


The shape of the rock changes because of stress in a process called?

deformation


A science student squeezes a rock between her hands but the rock does not change shape The rock is undergoing?

The rock is undergoing elastic deformation, where it is able to return to its original shape once the stress is removed. This is because the forces applied are below the rock's yield strength, preventing any permanent change in shape.


What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?

The force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is called stress. Stress can be caused by factors such as tectonic plate movement, pressure from surrounding rocks, or even human activities like mining. This stress can lead to the deformation or fracturing of rocks over time.
