Non-examples of elastic rebound include plastic deformation, where materials permanently change shape under stress without returning to their original form, and ductile failure, where materials stretch and yield rather than snap back. Other non-examples are situations involving brittle fracture, where materials break suddenly without significant deformation, and fluid flow in geological formations, where fluids move without the elastic properties of solid materials. These scenarios do not exhibit the characteristic recovery behavior of elastic rebound.

The four stages of the elastic rebound hypothesis are: (1) rocks on either side of a fault are deformed by stress, (2) stress overcomes friction causing rocks to break and shift, (3) stored elastic energy is released as the rocks rebound to their original shape, and (4) seismic waves are generated causing an earthquake.
This phenomenon is known as elastic rebound and it occurs when a rock that has been subject to stress suddenly releases that stress, causing it to return to its original shape. This can happen during an earthquake when built-up strain in the rock is released, leading to rapid deformation and rebound.

Elastic rebound. This phenomenon occurs when stress builds up in a rock mass and causes it to deform, then suddenly release that stress by rebounding to its original shape. Elastic rebound is often associated with earthquakes and fault movements.
Earthquakes will happen.
Some non-examples of elastic potential energy include gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and thermal energy. These types of energy are different from elastic potential energy as they are not associated with the deformation or stretching of an elastic material.

Inelastic things can not be stretched or do not rebound while elastic things will stretch, bounce, rebound, etc..

The sudden return of elastically deformed rock to sit original shape is called elastic rebound. Elastic rebound happens when stress on rock along a fault becomes so grat that the rock breaks or fails. This failure causes the rocks on either side of the fault to jerk past one another. During this sudden motion, large amounts of energy are released. This energy travels through rock as seismic waves. These waves cause earthquakes. The strength of an earthquake is related to the amount of energy that is released during elastic rebound.
