What are the two ways rocks permanently deform?

Faulting and folding (also known as brittle and ductile deformation). Please see the related links.


What forms when deformation causes the lithosphere to break?

There are different tectonic structures that are formed when deformation causes the lithosphere to break. The deformation of the lithosphere is caused by the weight of the ice.


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.


What causes body deformation?

Sometimes deformation can be cause by the mother drinking, smoking or falling on their stomach when the mother is still pregnant.


What is the source of elastic?

Mechanical energy (that causes the elastic deformation).


What are the causes of deformation?

Deformation of materials (called strain) is a response to forces acting on those materials (called stress).


What causes elastic deformation?

Elastic deformation is caused by applied forces. It is also when solids are either twisted or pull and then return to its normal shape.


Spin causes electrons to?

Spin causes electrons to exhibit magnetism.


Does stress change earth crust?

It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".


How does stress change earths crust?

It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".


Any time stress causes rock to change is a result of what?

D. Deformation


What are the Stress-strain characteristics of ductile materials?

initially there is the linear elastic region which obeys the hooks law :stress is directly proportional to the strain. at the end of the linear elastic region the ductile material reaches the yield point beyond which any change in dimensions become permanent. the material goes through a yield plateau in which stress is constant and the strain changes. after crossing the yield plateau the ductile material goes through the strain hardening region in which the deformation is permanent but as the region goes on the stress increases with the strain. here the strength of the ductile material increases as it is strain hardened. at a point it reaches the ultimate load point. This is the maximum load taken by the material. after which further deformation causes decrease in strength or the stress goes on decreasing finally breaking at the breaking load point. this region is called the post-ultimate region.
