The hypothesis that explains the release of energy during an earthquake is called the?
elastic rebound theory
What are the 4 stages of elastic rebound hypothesis?
1) zero stress on elastic material/it's at original position 2) stress is applied/deformation occurs 3) release of energy (earthquake) 4) elastic material rebounds
What is elastic energy measured in?
plasimetres
Energy stored in rocks as a change in shape?
Elastic energy
What potential energy does a squashed ball have?
When a ball is squashed, it gains potential energy due to the compression of its material. This potential energy is stored in the form of elastic potential energy, as the ball has the potential to return to its original shape when released.
What happens when the stress and strain of elastic deformation along tectonic plates reaches the braking point?
When the stress within the rock mass exceeds the elastic limit, then either a slip will occur along a pre-existing fault to releases the accumulated strain energy. This release of energy is more commonly known as an earthquake!
How does elastic energy connect to daily life?
the elastic band in a sling shotrubber bandsthe tendons that connect muscles to bones in your body store and release elastic energy with each stepetc.
Where does the energy released in an earthquake come from?
Preceding an earthquake, stresses accumulate in the earth's crust over time, causing energy to be stored in the form of elastic strain (like that in a compressed spring). Ultimately this accumulated stress exceeds the shear strength of the crust in the fault zone causing a sudden brittle failure or rupture. This in turn causes movement and a sudden release of the stored elastic strain energy in the form of seismic waves.

Is elastic energy a type of energy?
Yes, elastic energy is a type of energy.
The release of stored energy from rocks that are deformed by stress is called elastic?
shock
The hypothesis that explains the release of energy during an earthquake is the?
elastic rebound theory
What is the relationship between the elastic potential energy and the angle at which the elastic band is pulled back?
Well, elastic potential energy is energy that is released from an object by stretching or pulling. The formula for EPE is : EPE= 1/2 spring constant x extensions (squared) The rubber band is related to EPE because when you bend it back and release it, you are releasing elastic potential energy. (Note: EPE refers to "elastic potential energy".
What type of energy is stored in the elastic?
Potential Elastic Energy.
What energy is in elastic objects?
kinetic and elastic potential energy
How is elastic energy produced?
elastic energy is produced when something is stretched and the tension in the object is called elastic potential energy.
What is the name for energy stored by a stretched or compressed object?
Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.
