Rheology in a geological context deals with the flow / deformation of the extremely viscous fluids that compose the asthenosphere and mantle (fluid in this context means that it flows but only on a geological time scale where strain rates are measured in metres / million years).
In fact a better way may be to think of them as soft solids but that only act like they are soft way because of the very high temperatures and pressures they are under inside the earth.

What else can I help you with?
What is the term used for being concerned with the folds and faults of the earth?
On a small scale this is known as structural geology. On a global scale this is known broadly as rheology (folding) and tectonics (faulting).
What is rheology most useful for?
Rheology is most useful for studying the flow and deformation of materials, such as fluids, polymers, and soft solids. It helps to understand the behavior of these materials under different conditions, which is crucial for various industries like food processing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. Rheology provides valuable insights into the mechanical properties and performance of materials.
How are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere similarand how are they different?
The difference is in the rheology of the rocks, or, how they react under pressure. The lithosphere exhibits brittle rheology which means it will break or crack while the asthenosphere exhibits ductile rheology meaning it will deform or "flow in the solid state" not unlike silly putty. The lithosphere includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle and is approximately the upper 100km of the Earth.
What is rheology of fermentation fluids?
Rheology is the study of flow behavior of materials, such as viscosity and elasticity. In the context of fermentation fluids, rheology helps to understand how the fluids move and deform during the fermentation process, which can impact the efficiency of mass transfer, mixing, and the overall fermentation performance. Monitoring the rheological properties of fermentation fluids can provide insights into the fermentation process and help optimize the production of desired products.
Meteorology and physical geology are they the two main fields of geology?
Meteorology is not a field of geology, but rather a branch of atmospheric science that deals with the study of weather patterns and phenomena. Physical geology, on the other hand, is a fundamental field of geology that focuses on the study of the Earth's composition, structure, and processes. Other major fields of geology include mineralogy, petrology, and structural geology.
Are there jobs where you can practice rheology?
Yes, rheology is a real study. Rheology does have jobs available where people who are interested in rheology can practice rheology. The society of rheology has a website where all of the information is available.
When was Journal of Rheology created?
Journal of Rheology was created in 1929.
What can effect landslides?
Vegetation, angle of slope, undercutting of the foot, hight of the water table, soil rheology, earthquakes, rainfall, human activity, geology call all effect landslides.
What do you understand by Rheology?
rheology is the study of nature of rocks and the fluid found in the rocks with thier flow chracteristics
What is the term used for being concerned with the folds and faults of the earth?
On a small scale this is known as structural geology. On a global scale this is known broadly as rheology (folding) and tectonics (faulting).
What do you under stand by rheology?
Rheology (the study of the flow of matter) has applications in engineering, biology, geophysics, pharmacology, and food production.
