Folds are geologic structures that are formed when rocks bend but do not break.

What feature is formed when rocks bend under stress but do not break?
A fold is formed when rocks bend under stress but do not break, creating a curve or ripple in the rock layers. This can happen due to tectonic forces pushing or squeezing the rocks. Types of folds include anticlines and synclines.
What is the process in which rocks first bend and then break?
The process in which rocks first bend and then break is called deformation. Deformation occurs when rocks experience stress, which can be caused by tectonic forces, pressure, or temperature changes. Initially, rocks may bend or fold under this stress, but if the stress is too great, the rocks can eventually break or fracture.
Do Rocks fold typically form under the influence of compressive stress?
No, rocks do not typically form folds under the influence of compressive stress. Folds in rocks are usually formed by tectonic forces such as compression, which causes the rocks to bend and fold. Compressive stress can lead to faulting and fracturing of rocks, rather than folding.
What happens to rocks as they go undergo stress?
The rocks either fracture under the stress, or become compressed in different rocks known as "metamorphic".
What happens when rocks beneath earth surface undergo stress?
what happens when rocks beneath earths surface under goes trees
Any time stress causes rocks to change what is the result?
When stress causes rocks to change, it can result in the deformation of the rock, leading to the formation of faults, folds, or other structural features. Over time, this stress can cause rocks to break and slide past each other, creating earthquakes. Additionally, stress can cause rocks to undergo metamorphism, where they are transformed into new types of rocks under high pressure and temperature.
How is a channel formed by water?
volcanos under water exploded and rocks formed it.
What are the three formation of minerals?
There are three different kinds of rocks, depending on how they were formed. Igneous rocks formed when melted rock cooled and hardened. Sedimentary rocks formed in layers from bits of older rocks and parts of animals or plants. These collect in low areas or under water and harden into rocks. Metamorphic rocks formed when either sedimentary, igneous, or earlier formed metamorphic rocks were put under pressure and heat deep in the earth's crust.
When do girls usually break out?
girls break out when their under stress and eat a lot of cholate.
Where and under what conditions are metomorphic rocks formed?
They can be formed just about anywhere but are commonly found near the sites of volcanos or places volcanos were once active. They are formed by other rocks put under heat and pressure.
What do rocks do under heat and pressure?
rocks can change form. There are three main types of rocks, sedimentary, Metamorphic and igneous. igneous. sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sediment. Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from heat and pressure. If other rocks are put under heat and pressure then they have a chance to change into metamorphic.
When rocks are under stress energy is stored in the form of?
elastic energy
