What deformational structures results in brittle deformation?
faults
Brittle deformation would be favored over plastic deformation in what?
High Pressures is the wrong answer. The correct asswer would be cooler tempeture.
Which major type of rock is most likely to experience brittle deformation?
Igneous rock
A fault is an example of what type of behavior or deformation?
A fault is an example of brittle deformation which is defined as a loss of cohesion whereby a fracture or fractures propagate through the material.
Are rocks nears earth's surface generally brittle or ductile?
They are generally brittle.
Which is not a form of rock deformation?
ductile deformation
What are the main types of geologic structures arising from brittle and ductile deformation?
Faults are formed by brittle deformations and folds are formed by ductile deformation.
What deformational structures results in brittle deformation?
faults
When a material breaks suddenly with no sign of deformation what is it said to be?
Brittle
When material breaks suddenly with no sign of deformation what is it said to be?
Brittle
Brittle deformation would be favored over plastic deformation in what?
High Pressures is the wrong answer. The correct asswer would be cooler tempeture.
What is ductile deformation-?
it is when something breaks from its original shape and cannot return to its original form
What is the differences between brittle and ductile fracture?
In brittle fracture, no apparent plastic deformation takes place before fracture. In ductile fracture, extensive plastic deformation (necking) takes place before fracture.
Which major type of rock is most likely to experience brittle deformation?
Igneous rock
A fault is an example of what type of behavior or deformation?
A fault is an example of brittle deformation which is defined as a loss of cohesion whereby a fracture or fractures propagate through the material.
Are rocks nears earth's surface generally brittle or ductile?
They are generally brittle.
Are rocks near earth surface or generally brittle or ductile?
They are generally brittle.
