Under what conditions is a rock more likely to deform plastically than to break?

1 answer:

5 0

At the Earth's surface, rocks usually break quite quickly, but deeper in the crust, where temperatures and pressures are higher, rocks are more likely to deform plastically. Sudden stress, such as a hit with a hammer, is more likely to make a rock break. Stress applied over time often leads to plastic deformation. Hope this helps. ヅ
