Which is not a form of rock deformation?
ductile deformation
What type of deformation leads to earthquakes?
iT CHANGES THE SHAPE OF THE ROCK BUT DOES NOT CAUSE EARTHQUAKES
What conditions make rock more ductile?
Ductile deformation is observed by folding of rock layers. Ductile deformation can take place by plastic flow of hot, weak rock.
What is the breaking tilting and folding of rock?
deformation
What is rock deformation that is like a peice of molded clay and does not lead to earthquakes called?
What is rock deformation that is like a piece of molded clay and does not lead to earthquakes called
Faulting and folding are both types of what-?
Crustal deformation. That is, when pieces of the Earth's crust change shape due to tectonic forces.
What is a deformation and what causes it?
Deformation is a change in the shape and volume of a rock, deformation is produced when a rock experiences a stress that is greater than the strength of the rock.
Which is not a form of rock deformation?
ductile deformation
How are metamorphic rock structures related to deformation?
Deformation can create metamorphic rock structures.....

When rock layers bend due to stress?
"Folding" is the term that describes the bending of rock layers due to stress.There are different types of Folds and these include:Anticlinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have an upward-arching folds.Synclinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have a downward, trough-like folds.Monoclinal Folds: This is when both rock layers ends are horizontal.
What has the author Adolphe Nicolas written?
Adolphe Nicolas has written: 'Principles of rock deformation' -- subject(s): Rock deformation
what are the internal and external controlling factors for deformation of rocks (explain how)?
Internal Controlling Factors: Strength: The strength of the rock determines the amount of deformation that can occur before it fractures. Different types of rocks have different strengths, so the amount of deformation that can occur will vary depending on the type of rock. 2. Temperature: The temperature of the rock determines the amount of deformation that can occur. When rocks are heated, they become more ductile and can deform more easily than when they are cold. 3. Composition: The chemical composition of the rock can also influence its ability to deform. Rocks with higher amounts of silica tend to deform more easily than rocks with lower amounts. External Controlling Factors: Pressure: The external pressure applied to the rock can influence the amount of deformation it can endure. Higher pressures tend to cause rocks to deform more easily than lower pressures. 2. Stress: The type of stress applied to the rock can also influence how much deformation it can endure. Different types of stresses can cause different amounts of deformation. 3. Time: The amount of time over which the deformation takes place can also influence the amount of deformation that can occur. Deformation can occur over

A change in the shape of rock caused by a force placed on it?
erosion and it is quite similar to how sand was made because of the waves and all the earth's damage on it. Pretty simple if you think of it that way. a rock can erode if it is continuously pelted with water, wind, sand, rocks, etc. also a rock can change shape if it is melted and cools back down.
