Want this question answered?
Deformation is a change in the shape and volume of a rock, deformation is produced when a rock experiences a stress that is greater than the strength of the rock.
Deformation can create metamorphic rock structures.....
"Folding" is the term that describes the bending of rock layers due to stress.There are different types of Folds and these include:Anticlinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have an upward-arching folds.Synclinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have a downward, trough-like folds.Monoclinal Folds: This is when both rock layers ends are horizontal.
It is deformation
Igneous rock
There are different tectonic structures that are formed when deformation causes the lithosphere to break. The deformation of the lithosphere is caused by the weight of the ice.
Geological structures form as a result of ductile deformation. These structures include glacier rock, slate, and other such features found as a result of rock wearing down.

elastic deformation, ductile deformation and fracture
The rock in the asthenosphere behaves differently from the rock above because the rate of deformation is different.
ductile deformation

iT CHANGES THE SHAPE OF THE ROCK BUT DOES NOT CAUSE EARTHQUAKES
Adolphe Nicolas has written: 'Principles of rock deformation' -- subject(s): Rock deformation
Internal Controlling Factors: Strength: The strength of the rock determines the amount of deformation that can occur before it fractures. Different types of rocks have different strengths, so the amount of deformation that can occur will vary depending on the type of rock. 2. Temperature: The temperature of the rock determines the amount of deformation that can occur. When rocks are heated, they become more ductile and can deform more easily than when they are cold. 3. Composition: The chemical composition of the rock can also influence its ability to deform. Rocks with higher amounts of silica tend to deform more easily than rocks with lower amounts. External Controlling Factors: Pressure: The external pressure applied to the rock can influence the amount of deformation it can endure. Higher pressures tend to cause rocks to deform more easily than lower pressures. 2. Stress: The type of stress applied to the rock can also influence how much deformation it can endure. Different types of stresses can cause different amounts of deformation. 3. Time: The amount of time over which the deformation takes place can also influence the amount of deformation that can occur. Deformation can occur over
