In the lithosphere earthquakes occur when stress?
Suddenly builds up
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
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 to rocks when they undergo stress?
When the tension (stress) is great enough, they will fracture or deform.
What happens when sediment builds up after a long time?
When sediment is built, chinese men start to shave thier asses with sumaria sords while epicman808 sings a song about vipond
What happens when enough stress builds up in a brittle rock the rock breaks caused a what to form?
Reverse fault
What will happen when stress builds up in a tectonic plate and the plates collide?
When that happens a earthquake is produced.
In the lithosphere earthquakes occur when stress?
Suddenly builds up
What builds stress up and helps release that stress during an earthquake?
the elastic rebound theory
What happens when pressure builds up along a fault?
The fault locks, and stress builds up until an earthquake occurs.
What builds up in fault zones when crustal blocks stick together?
Stress
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 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 over time?
everyone will die
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 when heavy rain builds up in dry sediment?
Mudflows then occur after
