When a solid rock deforms and then returns to its original shape, it is known as elastic deformation. The rock doesn't break under pressure, but instead changes its form, and after the pressure is released the rock goes back to its shape.

A process by which rock deforms like a rubber band being stretched is called?
The force causing the change in the shape of rock is called stress. The change of shape in the rock is called strain. If the stress does not cause a permanent change in the shape of rock, it is called elastic deformation. If the change is permanent, it is called plastic deformation.
All changes in the original shape and or size of a rock body are called?
Deformation
What is elastic deformation?
Elastic deformation is recoverable deformation. As such, when the load that caused the deformation is removed the material will return to it's original shape.
What is ductile deformation-?
it is when something breaks from its original shape and cannot return to its original form
The shape of the water molecule H2O?
Well, there is no shape to water. If you have a container the water takes on the shape of the container, but that is not the waters shape, it is the container that the water is in. So even though the water has formed into a shape, it is that containers shape and not the water's shape.
Is it true that When you apply a force an object it deforms for a while then returns to its original shape?
On a very small scale, it is true.
An object that deforms when a force is applied to it and returns to its original form when the force is no longer applied is said to be?
Elasticity is the property of deforming under force and regaining shape when the force is removed.
What is matter considered if it returns to its original shape?
elastic
What metal returns into its original shape when it is heated after it was bent?
They are called smart shaped memory alloys they go back to their original shape when heated
What name is given to a material which returns to its original shape after being deformed?
elastic
What is the name when someting returns to it's original shape like a spring?
Recoil.
Definition of viscoelastic fluid?
A fluid that returns to its original shape after the applied stress is released
What name is given to a material which returns to it's original shape after being deformed?
elastic
What happends to potential energy as a squashed ball regains its shape?
As the ball returns to its original shape, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases.
Why does energy stored in deformed material in only its elastic portion?
The "elastic portion" is precisely the part where the material returns to its original shape, and thus returns its energy. Once the material does NOT return to its previous shape, it doesn't exert a force back to the original position, and there is no way to get the energy back.
Why does ping pong ball returns to its original shape when placed in hot water?
the heat makes the air expand inside the ball, which in turn would make it "blow up" back to its original shape
When is matter considered to be elastic?
Matter is considered to be elastic if it returns to its original shape after it is squeezed or stretched. -Alicia Wallace-
