11 -DEFORMATION OF ROCKS

11 -DEFORMATION OF ROCKS. Deformation of rocks. Folds and faults are geologic structures. Structural geology - the study of the forces that deform rocks (stress applied) and the effects of this force (strain). Small-scale Folds. Fig. 10.1. Phil Dombrowski. Small-scale Faults. Fig. 10.2.

Folds and Faults

Folds and Faults. Tectonic Plates. Types of Differential Stress. 1. 2. 3. Ductile Deformation Rock will flow in response to stress Rock will change shape during flow Example: Copper penny on train tracks. Brittle Deformation Rock will break in response to stress

Mountains and Crustal Deformation

Mountains and Crustal Deformation. Rock Deformation. We begin our look at mountain building by examining the process of rock deformation and the structures that result. Every mass of rock, no matter how strong, has a point at which it will fracture or flow.
