MODULE 5 - Rock Behaviors Under Stress Flashcards
Mountains are a result of high-impact stress caused when two plates collided.
What kind of stress caused it to form?
compressional stress
What will happen to the rock if it is exposed to a tension stress?
Rocks will be pulled apart
Ava played a clay bar. She pushed the two sides of the clay bar using equal
force from her hands on the same axis. What type of stress did she exerted on
the clay bar?
Compressional stress
What location does shear stress commonly occur?
Transform plate boundaries
What happened to the rocks under shear stress?
The rock walls slip to each other on opposite direction.
A compressive stress was exerted on the rock layers forming a simple fold or
bend. What is the type of fold formed on the rock layers?
Monocline
What type of fold is formed when a compressive stress resulted to a landmass
that arches upward?
Anticline
What type of fault is found in divergent plate boundaries?
Reverse

on the clay bar?
Compressional stress
Mountains are a result of high-impact stress caused when two plates collided.
What kind of stress caused it to form?
compressional stress
What type of stress is exerted in convergent plate
boundaries?
Compressional stress
Which boundary are shear stress commonly occur?
Transform plate boundaries
What happened to the rocks under shear stress
The rock walls slip to each other on opposite direction
What type of fault is found in divergent plate boundaries?
Normal
East African Rift formed by stress that causes the hanging wall to drop
down. What the type of fault did it belongs?
Normal
