Stress forces affect rocks in various ways. The most common effects include cracking, breaking, shrinking or total change in their composition among others.

What happens when enough stress builds up in a brittle rock the rock breaks caused a what to form?
Reverse fault
What happens when rocks beneath the earths surface undergo stress?
The rock moves because forces deep inside earth create stress or pressure in the rock when the pressure in the rock builds up enough,the rock breaks or changes shape releasing energy in the form of waves
What is the stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks?
The force that squeezes a rock until it folds or breaks is called compression. When enough stress builds up in a rock, the rock can break, and create a fault.
What happens to rock when they are subjected to pressure?
much strain builds in the rockthe rock breaks, releasing the strainearthquake
Does stress build in areas where rock along fault lines snag and remain locked?
The fault will be locked until the pressure builds up enough until it breaks.
What happens when pressure builds up along a fault?
The fault locks, and stress builds up until an earthquake occurs.
When rock is energy builds up in it seismic waves occur when it is relisted is?
erosion happens
What happens when a stress builds up along a fault?
Because of friction and the rigidity of the rock, the rocks cannot glide or flow past each other. Rather, stress builds up in rocks and when it reaches a level that exceeds the strain threshold, the accumulated potential energy is dissipated by the release of strain, which is focused into a plane along which relative motion is accommodated-the fault.
What happens when sediment builds up?
Sediment builds up over time and expands. Probably like a huge rock or a giant elephant.
What happens when sediment builds up overtime?
Sediment builds up over time and expands. Probably like a huge rock or a giant elephant.
What happens if you massage a rock?
It could help you relax and relieve stress.
A body of rock affected by tensile stress will likely undergo?
A body of rock affected by tensile stress will likely undergo stretching. This happens during the asymmetric deformation of a rock mass.
