Rocks exhibit ductile deformation under the condition of high pressure. Correct answer:D When a rock is subjected to increasing stress it passes through 3 successive stages of deformation. The second stage is Ductile Deformation -- wherein the strain is irreversible.

High Pressure

Further Explanation:

<u>Stress is a force that acts on the material in order to produce the strain and Stress is a force that is applied over and particular area and therefore it has the unites in force per area.</u> On the other hand, if we talk about pressure, then it is also stressed where the forces act equally from all the directions. Not to be mistaken, the Stress is not equal from all the directions as it depends on the pressure applied on every side and which may be different.  

There are three types of stress- Tensional stress, Compressional stress, and shear stress. How the material is behaving totally depends on many other factors and if we talk about confining pressure in particular, <u>Then at high confining pressure, materials are less likely to fracture and that is because of the pressure of the surrounding tends to hide out the formation of these fractures. </u>

There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. Describe the action o
nata0808 [166]

In which plate boundary two plates move towards each other and collide called convergent plate boundary. And causes devastation. E.g. Earthquake, Vulcanicity. In which plate boundary two plates move in opposite direction and do not collide called divergent plate boundary. Mountain building is the result of this type of plate boundary's action. In transform fault both the plates slide each other and causes fault in the sea floor.

Explanation:

Plate is a rigid and solid crustal block which is mobile in character and found in the asthenosphere in the upper mantle. It prevails in semi liquid and viscous condition where plates move easily. There are seven major plates and twenty minor plates. Plates are of two types. Continental plate and oceanic plate.

Where two plates collide with each other that area is known as plate boundary and the edge of plate is known as plate margin. Plate boundary is of three types: Convergent, divergent and transform plate boundary. These are also known as constructive, destructive and neutral plate boundaries.
