Stress definition

Force is applied to area

Strain

Resulting change is shape, orientation,or location

Types of deformation

Elastic, brittle, and ductile

Ductile deformation structures and level of confining pressure

Foliations and folds


High pressure

What kind of fold is this?

Syncline

Anticline

What type of fold?

Monocline

Identify

Non plunging vs plunging

Brittle deformation structures and confining pressure level

Joints and faults, low pressure

Joints

Fractures along which no appreciable displacement has occurred although some joints have random orientation most occur in a roughly Parallel Group

Faults

The former brittle deformation leads fracturing and displacement of Earth's crust, break in rock

Fault scarp

A cliff created by movement along a fault. It represents the exposed surface of the fault prior to modification by weathering or erosion

Reverse fault

hanging wall moves up result of compression

Yeah strike slip fault

A fault along Which movement occurs horizontally, not up and down

Footwall block

The rock surface below a fault

Hanging wall block

The rock surface immediately above a fault

Three types of differential stress

Compressional tensional and shear

Compressional stress

Differential stress that squeezes a rock mass as if it's placed in a vise, associated with convergent plate boundaries

Tensional stress

Differential stress that pulls apart or elongates Rock bodies

Strain

An irreversible change in the shape and size of a rock body caused by stress

Shear stress

Differential stress that causes the rock to Shear which involves the movement of one part of Iraq passed another causes large segments of crust to slip horizontally past each other

How is brittle deformation different from ductile deformation

Brittle brakes ductile bends

Deformation

General term for the processes of folding faulting shearing compression or extension of rocks as a result of various Natural Forces

Four factors that affect Rock strength and how they deform

Temperature, confining pressure, rock type, time

Normal fault

When hanging wall drops down, forces pulling side apart

How is a reverse fault different from a thrust fault

A thrust fault is a low-angle reverse fault

How do you figure out if a strike slip fault is Right lateral or left lateral

By what block is coming towards you if the left block is like coming towards you it's love lateral if vice versa

What kind of plate tectonic setting might you find strike slip fault

Transform boundaries
