What is the stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks?
The stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks is called compressional stress. This type of stress occurs when forces push together in opposite directions, causing rocks to deform under pressure.
What is the point beneath earths surface where rock breaks under stress and triggers an earthquake is called the?
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
What do you call the point below the earths surface where the rock breaks under stress and tension?
fre
What is the shaking of the earth caused by the release of energy as rock suddenly breaks or shifts under stress?
earthquake
What is squeezing together of rocks by stress?
The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called compression. In scientific terms Compression is when a force called stress pushes rock/squeezes rock together until it folds or breaks.
What is the area beneath earhs surface where rock that is under stress breaks triggering an earthquake?
The area beneath the Earth's surface where rock under stress breaks and triggers an earthquake is known as the focus or hypocenter. This point is typically located along a fault line, where tectonic plates interact. The seismic waves generated by the sudden release of energy at the focus propagate outward, causing the shaking felt during an earthquake. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is called the epicenter.
What are the cracks called when a rock breaks?
Breaks along mineral planes are referred to as cleavage planes (breaks along a plane) or conchodial fractures (no distinct break controls), depending on the mineral. more general breaks in rocks are referred to as fractures or joints and are often along fault planes or areas of stress in the rock. A crumbly rock texture is found in either an unconsolidated unlithified rock or a heavily chemically or mechanically weathered rock
What happens when enough stress builds up in a brittle rock the rock breaks caused a what to form?
Reverse fault
What is rigid brittle rock called?
WHAT IS RIGID BRITTLE ROCK CALLED? WHAT IS RIGID BRITTLE ROCK CALLED? we have no clue
What is the solid form of water that breaks rock?
The Solid Form of Water that breaks rock is called "ice".
What is caused by stress and the bending tiliting and breaking of rock?
Stress changes the shape or breaks (fractures) rocks whereas bending leads to folding
What is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called?
A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called stress. Tension is the stress that sketched rock so that is becomes thinner in the middle.
