if you are talking about deformation, it does cause earthquakes but they are very small

What is rock deformation that is like a peice of molded clay and does not lead to earthquakes called?

Ductile deformation describes rock that behaves plastically, like molded clay, under high pressure and temperature without generating earthquakes. This type of deformation results in gradual changes in the rock's shape and structure over time, rather than sudden or abrupt movements seen in brittle deformation associated with earthquakes.


Why are Atlantic coastlines relatively free of earthquakes and volcanoes?

The Atlantic is a relatively young ocean. The late movements are pushing both the sea-floor and the continents at either side of the ocean apart as 'one piece'. The destructive plate loss to accommodate this expansion is therefore occurring on the other side of these continents. As the movement is in 'one piece' there is no deformation or subduction happening that will cause earthquakes or volcanoes. There is however one small area of exception and that is the Caribbean ark which is a destructive margin. This stretch has both volcanoes and earthquakes.


A piece of copper originally 305 mm long is pulled in tension with a stress of 276 Mpa If the deformation is entirely elastic what will be the resultant elongation?

Tension = Module x deformation Deformation= 2,51x10^-3 = 0,25%


How does the force due to hammering affect the piece of iron from class 8th?

When hammering a piece of iron, the force applied by the hammer causes the iron to change shape through deformation. This force creates stress within the iron, which can lead to permanent deformation or reshaping of the iron piece. The impact of the hammering force depends on the intensity and frequency of the strikes, as well as the properties of the iron itself.


What is the process by which the shape of a rock changes because of stress?

This is technically known as strain. If the change in shape occurs by fractures forming through the rock this is known as a brittle deformation. If however the rock deforms like a piece of clay being squashed this is known as ductile deformation.


How does a seismogram show earthquakes waves?

By a pen moving on a piece of paper to show the magnitude


Are metallic bond is instantaneously renewed on mechanical deformation of the metal?

Metallic bonds are maintained more or less instantaneously on mechanical deformation of a metal, unless the deformation is so severe that the piece of metal being deformed is broken. Since metallic bonding extends throughout a single piece of metal, it does not need to be "renewed" after deformation.
