Identify two ways that rocks deform?
rocks usually deform due to wind and erosion depending upon the intensity to which they are effected.
Why dont rocks deform under confining stress?
a deeply buried rock is pushed down by the weight of all material above it. Since the rock cannot move, it cannot deform.
When two plates converge do compressive forces deform rocks upward to make mountains?
Yes, that is the idea.
What happens to rocks when they undergo stress?
When the tension (stress) is great enough, they will fracture or deform.
What is a rupture of geological fault?
Faulting is when rocks deform in a brittle fashion and break, and then movement occurs along these fractures.
What are the two ways rocks permanently deform?
Faulting and folding (also known as brittle and ductile deformation). Please see the related links.

What does weathering and erosion have on rocks?
Weathering is when it rains and has a vary amount of wind and different types of weather. Erosion is when he rocks deform to different shapes. So it has a HUGE Impact because it changes the look of the rock.
What is the sentence of deform?
wat is the sentance of deform
Can you use deform in a sentence?
The heat of the flame will deform the candle.
Where is the energy of an earthquake stored before the earthquake?
It is stored in the form of elastic strain (also known as elastic potential energy) in the rocks of the crust as they deform under stress.
