Plastic Rock is a rock that behaves something between a liquid and a solid, due to the amount of water in between the molecules.

Water in between the molecules of the rock, makes it a somewhat liquid. When any pressure or push on the rock makes the water leave from the molecules, and makes it harder for the molecules to behave like a liquid, so, the rock becomes a solid.

What is ''plastic'' rock and how does it move?

Plastic rock is a type of soft sedimentary rock that has properties similar to plastic when it's warm. It can deform and flow slowly under pressure or stress due to its high clay content. The movement of plastic rock can be caused by factors such as tectonic forces, gravity, or changes in temperature and pressure.


Does plastic deformation occurs more readily in warm rock than in cool rock?

Yes, plastic deformation occurs more readily in warm rock than in cool rock because warm rock has lower strength and is more ductile. The higher temperatures allow for easier movement of atoms within the crystal lattice, promoting plastic deformation. Conversely, cool rock is stronger and more brittle, making plastic deformation less likely.

What does it mean if a rock is like plastic?

Plastic-like rock is found in the asthenosphere, the layer of Earth directly beneath the crust and uppermost mantle. Though consisting of hard rock, the high temperatures and inclusion of a small amount of molten material allows the rock to behave in a plastic-like manner; that is, it can be moved and bent without breaking.
