What is a rock that deforms like a piece of molded clay called?
A rock that deforms like molded clay is called a plastic rock. These rocks can be easily reshaped due to the internal flow of their minerals. Examples of plastic rocks include shale, claystone, and serpentinite.
What best describes the physical nature of the earth's lithosphere and the asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is rigid and commonly deforms in a brittle manner; the asthenosphere tends to flow slowly and deform in a plastic manner.
Why is the upper mantle described as plastic?
The upper mantle is described as plastic because it can deform and flow slowly over long periods of time, similar to the way plastic deforms under pressure. This property allows the mantle to respond to tectonic forces and play a key role in the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates.
What are deformities?
A type of bumper made out of soft flexible plastic that deforms slightly at low speed impact and has a foam backing - this will stop the bumper cracking
What are deforming bumpers?
A type of bumper made out of soft flexible plastic that deforms slightly at low speed impact and has a foam backing - this will stop the bumper cracking
What does electricity not flow through?
Plastic
Why can't electricity flow through plastic?
Because metal and plastic arent the same materials so metal goes with the flow through static electricity but plastic cant.
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.
Why does plastic flow occur only 50 meters below ice?
It takes the weight of that much ice to cause the plastic flow.
What does electricity not flow through well?
Plastic
What causes plastic flow to?
High pressure
True or false the asthenosphere is not considered solid because it can bend like plastic?
False - the asthenosphere is a solid that deforms in a ductile fashion - it undergoes permanent plastic deformations. Further information: The statement must be false. Plastic is a solid, so if something is going to be considered a non-solid, it cannot be like a solid. Whether or not the asthenosphere is solid, one cannot argue that it is non-solid as a result of it having a characteristic of plastic.
