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 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.

All changes in the original shape and or size of a rock body are called?

All changes in the original shape and size of a rock body are called deformation. This includes processes like folding, faulting, and shearing that can alter the appearance and structure of a rock.


A force that changes a rocks shape or volume is called?

The force that changes a rock's shape or volume is called stress. This can occur due to factors such as compression, tension, or shear forces acting on the rock.


Process by which the shape of a rock changes in response to stress?

pressurization (and plenty of time)


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.


When solid rock deforms and returns to its original shape it has undergone?

When a solid rock deforms and then returns to its original shape, it is known as elastic deformation. The rock doesn't break under pressure, but instead changes its form, and after the pressure is released the rock goes back to its shape.


What is the word used to describe how water changes the shape of rock?
