Yes, increased temperature can make rocks more likely to deform because it causes minerals within the rock to become softer and more malleable. This allows the rock to bend and flow more easily under stress. However, extreme temperatures can also cause rocks to fracture rather than deform.

Why dont rocks deform under confining stress?

Rocks can deform under confining stress, but the amount of deformation depends on factors such as the type of rock, temperature, pressure, and time. In general, rocks are more likely to deform under higher temperatures and pressures. If the confining stress is higher than the rock's strength, it may deform or fail.


Is it possible to make a sample of pure metal softer or more likely to deform on impact WITHOUT mixing it or making it into an alloy and keeping it that way at room temperature?

possibly.


Why do some rocks bend while other rocks break?

This depends on the confining pressure, the temperature and the strain rate applied to the rock mass. In general, the lower the rate of strain, the more likely ductile or plastic deformation leading to bending or folding will occur. The higher the strain rate, the more likely brittle deformation is to occur, leading to the rock "breaking". As the confining pressure increases, a materials shear strength will increase (this usually coincides with a greater depth of burial) and due to the Earth's thermal gradient an increase in temperature. As the shear strength of the rock increases, the occurrence of brittle failure is less likely while the higher temperature means that plastic deformations are more likely to occur.


When you open a can of room-temperature soda why is it more likely to fizz an spill over than a can that has been refrigerated.?

Carbon dioxide bubbles are released at higher temperature.

What is the usual temperature for an ionic bond?

The typical temperature for an ionic bond to form is room temperature or higher, around 300 K (27°C). This is because at higher temperatures, ions are more likely to overcome their electrostatic repulsion and form a stable ionic bond.


How rubber is effected by temperature?

Rubber becomes softer and more elastic at higher temperatures, making it prone to deform under pressure. Conversely, at lower temperatures, rubber becomes harder and more brittle, which can lead to cracking or breaking upon impact. Extreme temperature fluctuations can degrade the chemical structure of rubber, reducing its flexibility and lifespan.


Are Brittle rocks are more likely to fold then fault?

Brittle rocks are more likely to fault than fold because they are more prone to breaking and fracturing under stress. Folding is more common in ductile rocks that can deform and bend without breaking.


Does water temperature affect surface tension on a penny?

Yes, water temperature can affect surface tension on a penny. As water temperature increases, surface tension generally decreases. This means that with higher water temperature, the water is less likely to bead up and more likely to spread out on the penny, reducing the surface tension.


What is Stress reduction factor in UG excavations?

The stress reduction factor is a product of the relationship between the Unconfined compressive strength of a rock and the sigma 1, or principal stress field in that area. The higher the value, the more likely the rock is to deform when placed under load.


Statement correctly describes how the density and temperature of air are related?

Lower temperature air is more dense.


How does temperature influence the amount of moisture in the atmosphere?

the higher the temperature, the more moisture.
