What is the cause of earthquakes in volcanic regions?
Earthquakes are like a rubber band. They both have limits. If you strech a rubber band the farthest it can, it will eventually meet it's elastic limit or the point where it can strech its farthest. If you go any farther than its elastic limit the rubber band will break. This is an example of how earthquakes are formed.I'm not sure if a volcano can cause earthquake or an earthquake can cause an volcanic eruption or both. But earthquakes can cause volcanoes to erupt. There are many kinds of earthquakes some are big and destructive but most of them are small that we can't even feel. Small earthquakes are important now and then because if they don't happen often the stress and force build up and create a big earthquake. One cause of earthquake causes in volcanic regions can probably be the shaking of an earthquake can cause an eruption. Or the shaking ofa volcano can cause an earthquake.
How do you know the material is elastic?
it depends on modulus of elasticity / young's modulus,,,,,,,which is ratio of stress and strain under elastic limit
Can i have a list of elastic limits of some objects?
The Wikipedia lists the elastic limit for some materials, in the article "Yield (engineering)".
What is plasticity in chemistry?
Plasticity is the characteristic of a metal where it undergoes inelastic strains beyond the elastic limit.Until the elastic limit point, the strain that a metal undergoes is elastic, meaning the metal will regain its original dimensions upon unloading. For example, during a tensile test, a metal pulled in tension to a strain below its elastic limit will return to its original dimensions upon release.However, if a metal is strained beyond the elastic limit into the plastic region, the strain will be inelastic, meaning the metal will be unable to return to its original dimensions upon unloading. Large deformations in ductile materials result in plastic flow.Metals experience periods of both elastic and plastic deformation. On a stress-strain curve, the elastic region is followed by the plastic region. Oftentimes, the elastic limit is approximated as equal to the proportional limit and (for mild steel) the yield stress.
What happens when the stress and strain of elastic deformation along tectonic plates reaches the breaking point?
This is known as faulting. As such, the broken surfaces are known as faults.
What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit break and snap in elastic rebound?
Earthquakes will happen.
What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit breaks and snap back in elastic rebound?
Earthquakes will happen.
What type of deformation leads to earthquakes?
iT CHANGES THE SHAPE OF THE ROCK BUT DOES NOT CAUSE EARTHQUAKES
What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit break and snap back in elastic rebounds?
Earthquakes will happen.
Does an object remain in elastic beyound elastic limit?
No..!
What is Difference between elastic limit and proportional limit?
Proportionality limit is the point upto which the stress remains directly proportional to strain whereas elastic limit is the point upto which the material remains elastic ie. if the stress is removed within elastic limit, then the material will regain its original shape and size.

Is a solid object not elastic below the elastic limit?
yes
Relation between elastic constsnt?
The relationship between elastic constant is that two independent elastic constants is required.
How do you increase elastic limit?
since freezing elastic object decreases its elastic limits, increasing temperature would increase elastic limits.
What happens when the elastic limit of bungee cable is exceeded?
If a force is too great, the elastic limit will be exceeded. After the elastic limit is an area called the plastic region. The object may be stretched further in this area, however it will not returned to its original shape and will be permanently distorted. Eventually, the object will reach its breaking point. If the force applied is within the elastic limit, the object will return to its original shape.
