Which metamorphic rocks form under high stress and low to moderate temperatures in subduction zones?
Blueschist
What does the buckling of rocks under great force produce?
a fault
Where can you get ladybugs in Little Rock Arkansas?
Under rocks and on leaves
Rocks that have been melted under extreme heat?
Igneous.
What is the difference between metamorphic rock and igneous rock and sedimentary rocks?
metamorphic is rocks that have grown outside of a volcano, like that have cooled down... igneous is rocks that have grown inside a volcano (the faster is cools the smaller, the slower it cools the bigger)... and sedimentary is rocks that have been compacted down over many years, like under all the sand under the sea :)
Where is the energy of an earthquake stored before the earthquake?
It is stored in the form of elastic strain (also known as elastic potential energy) in the rocks of the crust as they deform under stress.
How is the energy that causes an earthquake stored before the earthquake happens?
It is stored in the form of elastic strain (also known as elastic potential energy) in the rocks of the crust as they deform under stress.
Does stress add energy to rocks?
Yes. Even small amounts of stress added to even small rocks does store energy. Virtually every solid material has a stress-strain relation where the application of force causes a deformation of the solid and the deformation of the material creates an elastic potential energy. This is much easier to see when a highly elastic object, like a rubber band, is deformed, in which case stretching and releasing the rubber band results in it moving which is the conversion of the stored elastic energy into kinetic energy. Alas, most rocks do not bend much so it is hard to see. The energy stored in rock can be more exotic. Some types of rock, especially those which contain quartz, store energy in the form of piezoelectric based electricity when under stress. The stress can also be very large with large consequences such as the force causing tectonic motion and resulting earthquakes.
What type of energy is used when the body is under stress?
this type of energy is used when the body is put under stress
What happens to rocks as they go undergo stress?
The rocks either fracture under the stress, or become compressed in different rocks known as "metamorphic".
What Destructive Events can trigger an Earthquake?
Earthquakes are the vibrations caused the sudden release of energy by rocks breaking under stress. Rocks crack and slip past each other causing the ground to vibrate.
What is formed when rocks bend under stress but do not break?
Folds are geologic structures that are formed when rocks bend but do not break.
Do Rocks fold typically form under the influence of compressive stress?
Yes.
Do fungi under stress produced more energy?
No
What feature is formed when rocks bend under stress but do not break?
Folds are geologic structures that are formed when rocks bend but do not break.
What happens when rocks beneath earth surface undergo stress?
what happens when rocks beneath earths surface under goes trees
Description of geothermal energy?
Energy extracted from hot rocks under the earth's surface.
