L5 : ROCK BEHAVIORS UNDER STRESS

Question 1

3 TYPES OF STRESS

Answer 1

TENSIONAL STRESS
COMPRESSIONAL STRESS
SHEAR STRESS

Question 2

Causes rocks to be pulled apart that result to lengthening and break apart.

Answer 2

Tensional Stress

Question 3

Causes rocks to fold or fracture. It squeezes rocks together.

Answer 3

Compressional Stress

Question 4

Happens when forces slide pass each other in opposite direction which results to slippage and translation.

Answer 4

Shear Stress

Question 5

are formed when rocks experienced compressive stress and deformed plastically.

Answer 5

FOLDS

Question 6

3 types of folds

Answer 6

Monoclines
Anticlines
Synclines

Question 7

is a simple bend in the rock layers where the oldest rocks are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top.

Answer 7

Monoclines

Question 8

Is a fold that arches upward where the oldest rocks are found at the center of an anticline. The youngest rocks are covered over them at the top of the structure.

Answer 8

Anticlines

Question 9

Is a fold that bends downward which rocks are curved down to a center.

Answer 9

Syclines

Question 10

A rock under ample stress can crack, or fracture.

Answer 10

Faults

Question 11

3 types of faults

Answer 11

Normal Fault
Reverse Fault
Strike Slip Fault

Question 12

most common faults at divergent boundaries. In relation to the footwall, it develops as the hanging wall drops down.

Answer 12

Normal Fault

Question 13

This type of faults is most common at the convergent boundaries. It forms when the hanging wall moves up.

Answer 13

Reverse Fault

Question 14

It is mostly common on transform plate boundaries. This type of faults formed when the walls move sideways.

Answer 14

Strike Slip Fault
