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.

What is the change in shape of rock due to stress?

Shape of rock also changes because of stress. It causes the rock to change its shape. When a lot of pressure applies it causes the rock to change its shape.

Stress


A force that changes a rocks shape or volume is called?

The force that changes a rock's shape or volume is called stress. This can occur due to factors such as compression, tension, or shear forces acting on the rock.


What is the process in which rocks change shape is called deformation deposition composition or flotation?

The process in which rocks change shape is called deformation. During deformation, rocks undergo changes in shape, volume, or orientation in response to stress. This can result in the formation of folds, faults, and other structural features in rocks.
