What is a change in a rocks shape due to stress?
The change in shape of rock (and any other material) due to stress is called strain.
Is the change in shape of rock due to stress?
It is deformation
Is deformation the change in shape of a rock due to stress?
Yes, it is.
Define rigidity modulus?
change in shape due to stress applied
What is a deformation and what causes it?
Deformation is a change in the shape or size of a material due to stress or strain. It can be caused by external forces such as pressure, tension, or shearing forces acting on the material, leading to a rearrangement of its atomic structure. Deformation can result in a temporary change (elastic deformation) or a permanent change (plastic deformation) in the material.
A force that changes a rocks shape or volume is called?
The force that changes a rock's shape or volume is called stress. This can occur due to factors such as compression, tension, or shear forces acting on the rock.
What is the process by which the shape of a rock changes because of stress?
This is technically known as strain. If the change in shape occurs by fractures forming through the rock this is known as a brittle deformation. If however the rock deforms like a piece of clay being squashed this is known as ductile deformation.
A change in the shape of rock caused by a force placed on it?
The change in shape of a rock due to a force acting on it is called deformation. Rocks can experience different types of deformation, such as folding, faulting, or fracturing, depending on the intensity and direction of the force applied. This process is a critical component of understanding the tectonic processes that shape the Earth's crust.
What force causes rock to change shape?
The force that causes rock to change shape is typically pressure due to tectonic forces, which push, pull, or squeeze the rock. This force can deform the rock, leading to changes in its shape over time. Additionally, factors like temperature variations and erosion can also contribute to the changing shape of rocks.
Three types of deformation resulting from subjecting rock to stress?
folds-bending of the rocks without breaking faults-fracture of rocks with displacement joints-fracture of rocks wihtout displacement joints affect the resistance of rocks and making it subscitible to weathering
What physical change in metamorphic rock signals the end of metamorphism?
from what i know there is no physical change that signals the end of metamorphism but there is a physical change during the process of metamorphism. during metamorphism the shape of the rock changes due to force of stress this is a physical change. (a physical change is when the shape or composition ofa substance e.g. rock has changed). by the way i am only 12
What is the bending of rock due to stress?
Folding
