A science student squeezes a rock between her hands but the rock does not change shape The rock is undergoing?
Compressional stress
Does rock have a definite shape?
Well, a specific rock takes up a specific amount of space, as well as a specific shape. Depending on the type of rock, you can change that definite shape by chipping or cracking it.
Give 2 examples of physical changes?
1. breaking a rock in half 2. ripping a piece of paper
What do you call it when an object falls into the water and rings form around it?
it is called a water ring and it forms because of the force that the rock falls at and the shape
When you use a crowbar to lift a heavy rock which force is bigger the weight of the rock or the force applied to the end of crowbar?
the force, otherwise the rock would not move.
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.
What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?
the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is stress.
What is a change in the shape of a rock caused by a force placed on it?
Mechanical change
What is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called?
A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called stress. Tension is the stress that sketched rock so that is becomes thinner in the middle.
What is the name for the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?
Erosion
What force causes rock to change to a new substance?
Weathering
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.
The term that refers to the force that acts on rock to change it's shape or volume?
stress
What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape?
I believe pressure is the answer you are looking for here. Other forces that change the shape of rocks include weathering and erosion.
What is a deformation and what causes it?
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.
What force causes rock to change into a different rock?
Heat, pressure, weather, gravity, plate tectonics--all play a part in the rock cycle.
What occurs when an applied force causes rock to break?
Mechanical weathering occurs when an applied force causes rock to break.
