Is an earthquake's elastic limit the point on Earth's surface directly above earthquake focus?
No, an earthquake's elastic limit refers to the maximum stress that rocks can withstand before they break and release energy, causing an earthquake. The point on the Earth’s surface directly above the earthquake focus is called the epicenter. While the elastic limit is related to the geological processes that lead to earthquakes, it is not the same as the epicenter.
What are the surfaces called that rocks move along once their elastic limit is passed and they break?
The surfaces along which rocks move after they have broken due to exceeding their elastic limit are called fault planes. These faults represent the fractures in the Earth's crust where displacement has occurred. When stress accumulates along these planes, it can lead to earthquakes as the rocks suddenly slip and release energy.
What is the cause of earthquakes in volcanic regions?
Earthquakes are like a rubber band. They both have limits. If you strech a rubber band the farthest it can, it will eventually meet it's elastic limit or the point where it can strech its farthest. If you go any farther than its elastic limit the rubber band will break. This is an example of how earthquakes are formed.I'm not sure if a volcano can cause earthquake or an earthquake can cause an volcanic eruption or both. But earthquakes can cause volcanoes to erupt. There are many kinds of earthquakes some are big and destructive but most of them are small that we can't even feel. Small earthquakes are important now and then because if they don't happen often the stress and force build up and create a big earthquake. One cause of earthquake causes in volcanic regions can probably be the shaking of an earthquake can cause an eruption. Or the shaking ofa volcano can cause an earthquake.
Can i have a list of elastic limits of some objects?
Sure, here are some common objects and their elastic limits: Rubber band: typically stretches 2-4 times its original length before reaching its elastic limit. Metal spring: will deform plastically if stretched beyond its elastic limit, which is typically around 70-80% of its original length. Human hair: can stretch up to 30% of its original length before reaching its elastic limit and breaking. Remember, these values can vary depending on the specific material and its condition.
What is plasticity in chemistry?
Plasticity is the characteristic of a metal where it undergoes inelastic strains beyond the elastic limit.Until the elastic limit point, the strain that a metal undergoes is elastic, meaning the metal will regain its original dimensions upon unloading. For example, during a tensile test, a metal pulled in tension to a strain below its elastic limit will return to its original dimensions upon release.However, if a metal is strained beyond the elastic limit into the plastic region, the strain will be inelastic, meaning the metal will be unable to return to its original dimensions upon unloading. Large deformations in ductile materials result in plastic flow.Metals experience periods of both elastic and plastic deformation. On a stress-strain curve, the elastic region is followed by the plastic region. Oftentimes, the elastic limit is approximated as equal to the proportional limit and (for mild steel) the yield stress.
What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit break and snap in elastic rebound?
Earthquakes will happen.
What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit breaks and snap back in elastic rebound?
Earthquakes will happen.

Does an object remain in elastic beyound elastic limit?
No..!
What is Difference between elastic limit and proportional limit?
Proportionality limit is the point upto which the stress remains directly proportional to strain whereas elastic limit is the point upto which the material remains elastic ie. if the stress is removed within elastic limit, then the material will regain its original shape and size.
Is a solid object not elastic below the elastic limit?
yes
What can happen when rocks pass their elastic limit break and snap back in elastic rebounds?
Earthquakes will happen.

How do you increase elastic limit?
To increase the elastic limit of a material, you can improve its structural properties by alloying or heat treatment. Additionally, reducing defects and impurities in the material can help enhance its elasticity. Strengthening mechanisms like solid solution strengthening or grain refinement can also boost the elastic limit.
What happens when the elastic limit of bungee cable is exceeded?
If a force is too great, the elastic limit will be exceeded. After the elastic limit is an area called the plastic region. The object may be stretched further in this area, however it will not returned to its original shape and will be permanently distorted. Eventually, the object will reach its breaking point. If the force applied is within the elastic limit, the object will return to its original shape.
