Faulting and folding are both types of what-?
Crustal deformation. That is, when pieces of the Earth's crust change shape due to tectonic forces.
How many types of granite rocks?
hoe many types of granite rocks are there
What types of rocks and minerals are there on mars?
there are all three types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.
What different types of rock are there?
There are three (3) different types of rocks, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
How many rocks are ther?
There are thousands of different types of rocks.
What are manifestations of stress in rocks?
cracks == In addition to cracks: faulting, metamorphism to new rock types, earthquakes, tilting, and folding.
What types of forces or stresses produces folds in rocks?
Tensional forces and compressional forces.

Heat and pressure can cause some rocks to change into different types of rocks?
sedimentary rocks
How did rocks become different shapes?
Through erosional forces and differences in rock types.
What types of forces cause objects to accelerate?
balance
What are types of earthquakes?
There are four different types of earthquakes - tectonic, volcanic, collapse and explosion. A tectonic earthquake is one that occurs when the earth's crust breaks due to geological forces on rocks and adjoining plates that cause physical and chemical changes.
How does water cause weathering of rocks in mountain ranges?
Three types of weathing
What causes a fold mountains?
Its due to temperature and pressure. when 2 continental plates converge the form a mountain belt, because there is no subduction zone they create a high range of mountains like the Himalayas. The common rock types are the metamorphic rocks and the pressure cause folds in the rock as they stretch depends on the direction. It can be anticline or syncline. Temperature also causes the folding of rocks as magma passes through rocks it makes the rock nearby ductile cause deformation on it.These are usually regional metamorphic rocks.
What can sudden forces make rocks do?
Sudden forces break the crust of the earth to make openings through which various types of material including molten magma, solid rocks, gases etc. are ejected to the surface from the interior of the earth.
Faulting and folding are both types of?
deformation
How do different forces act on Earth?
There are three main forces that drive deformation within the Earth. These forces create stress, and they act to change the shape and/or volume of a material. The following diagrams show the three main types of stress: compressional, tensional, and shear. Stress causes the build up of strain, which causes the deformation of rocks and the Earth's crust. Compressional stresses cause a rock to shorten. Tensional stresses cause a rock to elongate, or pull apart. Shearstresses causes rocks to slip past each other.
