What is the force that causes rock layers to crumple and fold?
Compressive stress causes the "crumpling" and folding of rock layers.
What force causes warm molten rock to move upward to the mantle?
The force that causes warm molten rock to move upward to the mantle is called convection. Convection happens when parts of the tectonic plate break off and melt.
What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rock to change?
Chemical weathering
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 causes metamorphic rock to change?
An increase in heat or pressure could cause further metamorphism.
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.
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 causes a rock to change in to a metamphic rock?
The application of heat and / or pressure causes a rock to be transformed into a metamorphic rock.
What the a force that acts on a rock to change it?
Pressure and/or Heat act on a rock to change it
The stress force that causes a mass rock to pull of twist in opposite directions is called?
The stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions is called tension. Shearing is the stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions.
What is the force that causes rock layers to crumple and fold?
Compressive stress causes the "crumpling" and folding of rock layers.
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 physical change in metamorphic rock signals the end of metamorphism?
from what i know there is no physical change that signals the end of metamorphism but there is a physical change during the process of metamorphism. during metamorphism the shape of the rock changes due to force of stress this is a physical change. (a physical change is when the shape or composition ofa substance e.g. rock has changed). by the way i am only 12
What are the forces that cause the rock layers to move?
The forces that causes rock layers to move are; 1. Tensional Force. 2. Compressional Force. 3. Quiescent Force.
What is a change in the shape of a rock caused by a force placed on it?
Mechanical change
What force causes a rock to sink to the bottom of a glass of water?
Gravity
