Gneiss is brittle. Actually, very few rocks are ductile by definition. Most rocks are not maleable unless under extreem heat.
Faults are formed by brittle deformations and folds are formed by ductile deformation.
ductile deformation
Yes. The Lithosphere tends to fail in a brittle rather than ductile fashion.
silicon is actually quite ductile as it is a metal
Hydrogen is neither malleable or ductile. It can't carry a current or be hammered into sheets because it is a gas
is polythene ductile or brittle?
it is ductile. For hardened stainless steel it gets less ductile, but not brittle.
Brittle
Silicon has a Brittle-to-Ductile transition at around ~500 C.
Ductile and brittle are NOT the same thing. In fact, almost the opposite.
Doubtful. Ductile by definition means "not brittle, easily stretched, malleable".
Sulfur is brittle.
A fluoride salt is brittle.

more brittle
is factor of safety of brittle material half of ductile material
Faults are formed by brittle deformations and folds are formed by ductile deformation.
