What are the types of rock deformation?
elastic deformation, ductile deformation and fracture
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 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 are the types of rock deformation?
elastic deformation, ductile deformation and fracture
Which is not a form of rock deformation?
ductile deformation
How are metamorphic rock structures related to deformation?
Deformation can create metamorphic rock structures.....
What type of deformation leads to earthquakes?
iT CHANGES THE SHAPE OF THE ROCK BUT DOES NOT CAUSE EARTHQUAKES
What has the author Adolphe Nicolas written?
Adolphe Nicolas has written: 'Principles of rock deformation' -- subject(s): Rock deformation
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
Is the change in shape of rock due to stress?
It is deformation
Which occurs at a lower stress value ductile deformation or elastic deformation?
Ductile deformation is when rock is given enough stress to break. If the stress is less, it will bend but not break.
Which major type of rock is most likely to experience brittle deformation?
Igneous rock
